A Memorial Day trip to the Sierra. www.geocities.com/spow49/Basin.html

dude, I live two hrs from both Josh, and Tahquitz. Personally I prefer Josh. As far as weather, depends when you will be there. If its early fall go to Tahquitz, if late fall, Josh. One thing to remember about Tahquitz is the route finding. If you are strong on following lines you won't have a problem. However, most people(including me) have gotten off route at Tahquitz. Having said all that, I prefer the longer(7 pitch) more moderate(5.7/8) routes on the north face. As someone said, Suicide is across the valley. Climbing is more straight forward there. Keep in mind, the face routes at Suicide are not sport climbs.

who is bob van belle?

pretty ambitious for your first trip to the Valley. nice read. glad you made it.

just got back from Yose. had a great time. wish I lived closer.

rc.com is also known as gumbies.com

it's also important(when swapping leads) to know how to rack gear on a gear sling. some people like gear with biners facing in; or small cams inside, bigger stuff outside.

Muffy, rope management is just something that needs practice. got to go out and climb more multipitch routes.
