At the start of Nutcracker, a Yosemite Valley ultra-classic (600 ft)
Drew on the airy 3rd pitch of Nutcracker
Drew at the top of Nutcracker
A satisfied look while the valley sits quietly behind me.
In the footsteps on Royal Robbins...
Cathedral Peak, another Yosemite classic located just outside of Tuolumne Meadows (700 ft)
A serious look at the belay (3rd pitch?)
A nice Cal crotch-shot
Budd Lake from the 5th pitch?
Amazing views distracted me...
A nearby climber
My leg after a lead fall
Cal at the belay
Views from the top!
Half Dome looms in the background
The gang at the top, looking cold and haggard
Cathedral Peak, the morning after

Golden Needles
"Hangdog" Cal takes a rest while the Big Meadow forest fire sends smoke into the afternoon sky
Eric on a classic lie-back
Drew ponders his next move. It's not often that you see him struggle on a climb.
