I'm psyched that you were able to tick off what you came all the way over here to do. Where's the HD TR? You and Bryce, slackers both of you! Great summit photo; would like to read about the adventure, too...
Congrats on a superb season of climbing over here on the best coast. Cheers!

I think you are a liar.
There is no possible way you climbed all that in one summer.
Please go away and stop posting these lies!
I cannot handle imagining some dudes actually making that much stoke and stone happen in one summer.

Mt. Goode was pretty cool. It had a fair amount of loose rock, but not as much as Dark Star. There were places were you had to tread carefully, for sure, but nothing too crazy. The first few pitches and the crux pitch are pretty fun.
Make sure you traverse left on pitch 3 until you pass the pin. The belay is just after that, not before. My partner got sucked up too soon into an alcove by a rap station.
It was a kickass summer! Half Dome TR coming soon.

That was a great photo report! I'm inspired and jealous. I'd love to get out and do at least a couple of those. Have to work but hey, gotta have something to look at here and it was a treat! Thanks and good job!

Wanderlust's got to work, too - he's a teacher. He just seems to squeeze every drop possible out of his summer off.
Matt this TR is a good representation of your style: of few words, solid as a brick house, getting sh#t done.
Cheers on a fine, fine season!
See you in Spring.

Bryce - haha, I ususally don't say much. OTOH, wait till you see the HD TR. ;-) Sping for sure.
Tim - Pleasure climbing with you as always, psyched that you are moving east and we can get into trouble on a regular basis.
