You're standing on my fingers - a corny book about a family that climbs together from the 'swanks to yosemite. early 70's. Wanted to do the daughter, maybe that's why I read it so much in the can?
Very cool adventure! I've wanted to camp on top for years now...but I can't seem to make it all the way, for one reason or another...I'm 3 for 6 now. I think one more try before I hit 50! (two more years!)
Try somewhere near Monte Cristo, I think that's one of the Stilagumish forks. drive to Barlow pass and walk up the road, there are several old state camp grounds along the river. good enough for fishing and dipping
Stay in touch here, maybe we can hook up this summer/winter...I'm not much into clipping bolts but have more trad gear than I know what to do with. My daughter attends UPS...
