Clink, were you folks on Stately Pleasure Dome in that one pic with all the polish? Wherever it was, I think I was there recently.

Waldo, we were at DAFF Dome that day.

Climbed 3rd Pillar of Dana with Caleb, Geoff, and Aaron D.
Aaron M got the flu but still managed the N. Face of Fairview.
Great trip.

It is nice to be home!

On the drive up, Jon Miller was describing the swing of a slugger from the team opposing the Giant as enormous and powerful. He struck out. Thankfully we didn't.

 Geoff and I getting to go up early to acclimatize was key and the day of climbing with Jim at Patricia Bowl was a game changer.
The 3rd Pillar was out of our paygrade. Aaron and Caleb were our ropeguns and did a fantastic job. A beautiful route.

Glad you guys had a fun trip and everyone is home safe.

That one picture in the chimney with the big slivers of rock wedged in below will be a nice place for skeletons to collect over the years or with the next exfoliation event that happens while someone is on the route.  :ihih:

Just takes time for the subliminal messaging to sink in.

Not worried.

Martha is scheduling visits to the optometrist and regular Doctor. Referrals needed for the other docs.
I may need my hand held. The pic fix may even happen.

the partial pic fix is good.  At least now when I click on them they are not huge.

I can live with click to medium size pics. THX!  And what a gem of a route! I need to do that.

 BTW Geoff got the news of the arrival his first grandchild, Naomi and Mike have a daughter! We were pulling into the Mobile at Lee Vining when he got the message from New Zealand. She will have dual citizenship, cool.

 What a great thing for Geoff, as he has looked like a grandpa for the last fifteen or years.
