Hands down my favorite place to climb. I was fortunate to learn to climb there and got back for a few long weekend trips. Unfortunately I don't think I have a single picture of the meadows.

It has the best rock, fine grained granite, perfectly eroded, great cracks, knobs and the occasional pockets and the meadows just resonate an internal peace and awe within you.

It's been calling me, don't know when I'll get back.

not enough for a trip report... just a fun Sunday cragging in Olmstead Canyon...

first piece going in!

Amy's second lap on it...
...hoping she'll forgive me for sandbagging her on Ivory Tower, Left (I remember it being 5.7... honest!)

I love Tuolumne, it's definitely my favorite place to climb... Just got back from another trip there--great weather, climbing with friends, swimming in Tenaya lake after climbing. Pretty great.

I would post recent pictures but I dropped my camera off Dozier dome on Saturday. But here's some pics from a few weeks back and last summer

Click on image for full size.

Was going through a bunch of my photos and noticed this one, of an obscure crag in Tuolumne – Proctology Wall. I haven’t climbed here but wandered by one day on a geology hike. Figured I’d post it because there isn’t a photo in the Reid/Falkenstein guide. Refer to page 205 in the 4th edition of the Reid (Falcon) guide for the topo and approach info… if you actually want to climb here. It’s no surprise that Norman Boles was involved in the FA of these routes, based on the names. He and Brian Bennett just can’t help being crude when it comes to route names. Remember that one Valley route name about Fresno??? Leave it to Bennett to think of such things…

Whoa - I was there for the same sunset as Beyr! Slightly different perspective, but you can even see the contrail on the right! Wild
