And again, this is an NPS management problem. Fire everyone at Yosemite; rehire and reassign the handful who may not be ok with this.

Thanks Kam!

Saw on Facebook, no more snowmobiles for the season

Spectacular pictures!

Sounds like the best way to just feel older.... Anyway sitting in traffic sucks! I love how the adventure extends throughout when you bike somewhere!

That's awesome! This TR got me thinking of all the places I could bike to, then I thought, "I'm too friggin old -- I'm just going to drive." 🤣

You didn't go into her bedroom and ask her to dry them for you at midnight? 😂 JK Hope you made it up to her? If not maybe consider rope gunning up Hard Mox on the next rainy weekend! 😂 Sorry, can't help myself. Glad you got out Lucas!

Looks fun but won't work for me this year. To clarify some things in the hopes of attracting some partners for you... looks like multiple pitches up to mid-5th but nothing harder if I'm reading this right? Grades are UIAA? Over 7k' of vert from just below 10k' to 17k' summit? Honestly sounds like a rad adventure.

They just ran the skimo race up there. A few weeks ago we could drive within 2 miles of the trailhead before snow. Access is probably perfect for skiing right now, and I believe the snowmobiles are still going up there (so >3 ft at Schreiber's). I would recommend flotation.

Awesome, that's a good day in the alpine!

Thanks, guys. Riff, I've seen you do some rad tours, you should write some of them up!

Trip: Gothic and Del Campo - Standard Routes Trip Date: 05/17/2025 Trip Report: Took a solo stroll up Gothic and Del Campo in the rain on Saturday since I had nothing better to do. Scrambling was entertaining, summit register of Del Campo was a fun read. If anybody is going up, Gothic summit register could use a new zip-lock and notebook. Sun peeked out in the morning but by the time I was descending Del Campo, rain was coming down. Forgot to buy snacks on the way in and didn't really eat breakfast so did the whole thing on 350 calories which I'm sure my body loved. 6h45 c2c. Nice morning and got some overpriced lunch in granite falls. Oh and I think I had mold growing in my boots because I forgot to dry em out after last weekends mother's day gift of getting home at 11pm on a school-night. Gear Notes: wet feet Approach Notes: trail runners are nice

Missed this. Very cool. Its been too long since I've done a self propelled journey from home to the mountains.

Trip: North Sister - Thayer HW Trip Date: 05/18/2025 Trip Report: Went out to North Sister on Sunday 5/18 to have a look-see in mediocre weather. I was excited to see some ice hanging on and forming up from this past week of weather. I played on it a bit but most was sun rotten and delaminating. It will all be gone quick once the sun comes back out. Skiing conditions were pretty terrible due to wind packed pow over old frozen sun crust and wet slide debris and some rock sharks too. Though I did talk to two splitboarders who went over to the SW side of the peak and found consistent wind-packed powder in a bowl. Here's some pictures... Thayer HW area Cool little pillar... bigger than it looks and solid but the top out was pretty terrible. Second pitch above the pillar... gross delaminating ice... downclimbed and did some gross scrambling up snow covered choss to the L Looking down on the Thayer Cirque from near where I was able to traverse to the main gully and descend. Storm cell over Broken Top on the hike back to the car. Gear Notes: Sneakers for the approach, skis kinda pointless in the conditions I found, tools and pons for ice, bringing a rap cord to escape via bollard would have been smart. Approach Notes: Pole Creek TH

@primate, revisited earlier this month and descended the gully the best way 😊

This is such a cool TR! Love that meadow under Lemah, but, yeah, gotta have snow for the gully... Thanks for the inspiration.

Anyone been up to Schreiber's Meadow lately? Looking for road conditions and whether flotation will be needed to access the seracs for crevasse rescue practice.

Fabulous! I was in this area coming off the Isolation in April, what lovely country- Thanks for writing it up!

Wow, that is quite a day trip!
