Yosemite Memories

On our rest day in the Valley, Mark and I mused about climbs accomplished, climbs that got away, and climbs yet to do. We had serious talk over our beans and mac and cheese dinner about spending 10 days climbing in the Valley next June. This picture of Middle Cathedral recalls the East Buttress route we did (IV, 5.8 A1), the DNB which Mark tried with Gene Drake, and the Harding North Face route (5.10a) which was Hock's first Grade V done with South African Richard Wilmot. (As always click on the photograph and enlarge this image.)
