Last time I checked there were only 2181 posts with the exact phrase "Dawn Wall".
You need deeper analysis than that? I'm writing a tutorial on Internet Research fot the Aspiring STaco Poster.
I'm planning on releasing it timed to correspond with the LMPL Marijuana book, which I hear is closer to publication that it was yesterday.
Anyway, as far as posts go, we had to put this up to keep the pigs from coming in and grabbing our waves.

richly colored
focal length of 25-600 mm
compact
sounds like it's worth the money
that's my two cents
have you a really GOOD tripod?
it will make a world of difference because it just will
if i had the cash, i'd lay aside the canon and get one
but that's just me and i'm guy who hates shopping
i'm the guy who has no family to keep fed, clothed and warm
i would have no reason to regret the purchase every single time that i clicked the shutter like you may
i'm putting the guilt trip on you, Gnome
i don't know what you do for a living
nor how much dinero you bring home
if i did know then i could put you on a better guilt trip yet
or you could just shop around

you should listen to mama, actually...
in case Patrick Sawyer is looking in, this is YV when simply "draped with snow."
it's mellow, but there's no comparison with a real dumping
check your email, Gnome
i've sent you some tunas

That right there,^^is were i would love to be! ~ well not right now but in late spring or late fall..(is that Bushido? and was i supposed to go deep as I did not)
 .
As to the Question What Is Next I know you care less and less, but since you did not ask, What might get free d next on ElCap? .
Born Under a Bad Sign?, Chinese Water Torture? The Water Fall Route?
Three Two Free??
/.,..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., .... . ../Not You And NOT me
but seams . . .
that might go free?!!
So many years ago I had to stop to count...
I was the ward of the family Shinn.
They were the electrical as well as very Merrill lynch.
My pal was the youngest boy of a family of four older goyls,
his personal confusion not withstanding he came from a family of giants.
Big as in all over six/four tall. Mother, Father, not twins just catholic and so
they had five kids,. . . two by 'mistake?'
That is how we victims relate, it is in the family pudding
Earthquake, breaking news . . . we find in common what we find in ourselves that remains
Unresolved!
Singing the blues ?? well you have to suffer to sing'em sweet. and sir that suffering I salute!
the family that is not mine that lives far north of you in Lodi ,
well,
should the cousin by marriage,
a guy named Rob Petzold!? really, strange,
-climbing name-, and I feel that they must in someway be related?(to Paul of Wyoming )
back to my point . . .if you need me to yank some string and ask a stranger for a ride??
You should shop around for better!
My mamma told me, you had better shop around,
I tried to buy off mine but that only lasted for so long. . .
My mamma told tales on me, you can not buy a new mom.
I had better shop around
but she goes south
not far enough
but past Curaçao,
Not Corasow, that does not exist,
Corseaux is in Switzerland
they have the schwizzel granite, aye?
And a too high cost of living . . .Nay e
that is how the vow breaks !
Mother in-law wears red to the wedding,
gambles away the education and gives em'
Calendars from the oil company for Christmas
And calls to rub it in . . .
Protect the children, be glad the wife loves yor rotting soul. . .
they would all leave me and sweet mum too. . .
if her sisters were not worse or if I were a Jew!

When i was into growing...Ice,(works for both)
I used chicken wire as the base to build up frozen layers.(protect babes n' roots)
Especially at the Top (what sent me sailing most likely as not)
On the fence wire I would drive lost arrows, and pre placed loops of rope that were both anchors and pro.
My mixed climbs were Garbage Fresh, in years that past.
Back when we had seeven foot of snow ya know.
A, G.F.A.I.T.H. ; Gargage Fresh Ascent, Insight of The Highway,
that'll teach me if nuttin' will!,
The time for playing on ice is over.
Say it enough times on the inter webs and it's tru, becomes true infact and true.
Did you see that comment from Qitnl?
back in a bit or not What Was Up With The Half Dome Shot??
AL MAQTAA?
Al MaQuaTT?:Parquate, what got sprayed on your pot? Aviation fuel??
Dentil suicide in a bag?, & Drunken Van??

I'd tell you about that Half Dome NWF shot, lifted from an article or write-up of a girdle traverse starting on the right and ending higher on the NW Buttress, but like they say in Ingle Land, I put the "bewk a-why, bewk a-why, bewk a-why." Or maybe it sounds more Ozzy that why, waddya sigh?
And the Al Maquatts are just sweet chewies with sesame seeds and goo used as a dip for the stuffed date. There's a variety made with almonds, too.
The farmers round here call 'em a'monds, not almonds. And they don't use any damned federally-approved quat on their crops, not like the A-rabs.
We're still in "the country," and we're still gonna paint the Male Ox blue or my name's not Bunyoon Litella, who is Emily's "yoost a bee."
And you thought she was the Virgin Emily Litella, maybe? You never imagined her hanging all over some good-lewkin' fella (BL) until his attention was distracted by a lady selling donuts at midnight out at the Oasis Orange on 99 and he dumped her like a bucketful of old orange rinds.
You got your troubles, I have nine.
[Click to View YouTube Video]Putting faces to the voices that you've known all these decades, it's The Fortunes, pet band of Mistress Fate. And one of Miss Emily's favorites, tew.
Next you'll be asking WTF is up with ^^^ No ducks were in this still picture, so no ducks were harmed in shooting this still picture.
vvv Nor were any fowl harmed in these next shots, neither.The Double Eagle could not be here today. Held over in Jackson, Amador Co., for the weekend.
"So, Miss Litella, what do you think of the free-climb of the Swan Wall?"
"Never mind."

Just boning up on my wildlife(different from wild life)after seeing this.
Neither of these is a mouse nor in Flames. What are they doing here?
As part of our Semi-Official Badger Patrol duties we're supposed to look for holes like this (with or without the cat).

enjoy the wine and any tears and smiles that come...
nine, IX, neuf, nueve, ni...
that number comes around more often than one would expect
and two would probably agree, not to mention the odd even numbers.
your daddy is listening
ludwig nee von beethoven, pearless wonder ludwig could not
"he can't hear you" is the last line in this clip from one of Gary Old Man's best roles as the composer of moonlight sonata, pretty much my favorite piece by LVB.

but your daddy's listening...
he grocks (that's a clockwork orange word made up by the author, Anthony Burgess Shale)
"I am Groot" (that's what Groot always SAYS but it's not what he MEANS)
referencing the movie Guardians of the Galaxy, neebee, so as not to confuse you too much...you have a Friday night glass with your dad and we'll be hear when you come back.

What's up next?
The Mexican Flag?
Epic Struggle of Badger & Eagle?
Russian Bear, Crying Dragon?
Song of the North & South?
I've got a wonderful feeling it will be Disney.
Nope, fraid not. Just more cows.
Did you know The Great Train was robbed in New Jersey, and not in the Pacific or Mtn. Time Zone? Indeed. Ask Edison. He said he'd be here directly.
