Mike. I think your shot of the pools wasn't needed. The one above yours was just fine. (I kid.)
Here's a couple recent shots to keep the old So Yo thread kickin.
Adam and I back on The Wing Feather/Captain Obvious. My second time up it in two months. Sooooo gooood. Just couldn't stay away.

Can anyone let me know how the smoke is up on the ridge? It's pretty bad on the Fresno County side of the river. Thanks.

Lightening strikes have started a number of fires in the Sierra Nevada. It was smokey over a wide area, including where we were at Courtright yesterday.

It is very smokey in the mornings with the afternoon breeze blowing the smoke back out to the east. I am sure Mammoth Mtn is not happy with their air quality either!

Thanks for the information, too bad there wasn't a way to breathe eastside air in the morning and west side air in the afternoon.

morning, yes the road is getting tuff to drive up on the road even in my 4x4, back in the day i could get there in my dodge caravan to the gate at friend rock camp site, i was there 2 weekends ago and saw no one there, but it was super smokey on sat, so i think the smoke scraed every one away on labor day weekend, i think this weekend is going to be a perfect week, so go!!! i am going tonight :-) happy climbing mike a.
