Gonz, I love that shot of Cathedral lake and peak. I've never climbed above the lake in that direction. Nice view!

I have photos here somewhere of one of the best days climbing I ever had, at the Meadows.

Partner and I were up in the meadows for about 10 days. On our last day there, we climbed lucky streaks, then ran over to do Oz, then had enough day left to do the Regular route as a simul-climb. No falls from either of us. By that point in the day, the crowds at the base were gone, so we didn't have to try and pass anyone on the hard part. We'd planned on using regular route as our warm up for the day, but that was insanity with it being a Sunday. 3 parties of 2 waiting around at the base, and a party of 3 inching their way through pitch #1. Running around to LS was the right move, even though it was shady and cold.

We topped out on Regular Route (whole thing took 50 minutes), ran down and still had enough time to jet over to Phobos / Demios cliff. But after that hike and all that came before it, with only an hour or so of daylight left, we opted to just sit around up there, dozing peacefully in the late day ambiance.

TM is my favorite place in the world. so, TTT!

My first day ever in the Meadows, last July.

Sitting on a rock, eating an It's It, and snapped this.

I feel this swell of excitement and gratitude for being able to see these pictures and reconnect with this incomparable place. Many of the slab routes are too spicy for me, but I've had my share of deep experiences in the Meadows. A few years ago, I finally got to do 3rd Pillar--a dream come true.

It's open, get it on.

I have to wait though. But the thought of getting out there stirs the embers in my belly. I really dig that place. Probably my favorite place to climb in the world. #1 on the list. Shuteye is a close second though. But after those two, the gap widens.

I love the place!

Memorial Day weekend this year:

Topping out one of Fairview's many greats, "Roseanne" last Thursday:

Whoa, behind me from Roseanne is some frightening real estate!!! The Sea of Knobs and a few bolts of Scavenger, Sorcerer's Apprentice and Mr. Kamps:

If stone could only talk, ah the tales we would hear!

Enjoy Tuolumne this summer, it's here now!

Berg Heil,

Climbed West Crack for the first time a couple of days ago. Never went up there cause I hate crowds. What an awesome route. Partner and I arrived at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and were the only ones there! About fifty parties showed up minutes after our arrival but we got going and never saw anyone again. So fun.
