AlpineK Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Despite my reluctance to admit anything in California is good; I have to admit that Yosemite is a pretty cool place. The CC.com folks I hung out with were pretty cool too. Highlights: Mass ascent of Cathedral peak, the regular route on Fairview dome, the Central Pillar of Frenzy, and last but not least the East Buttress of El Capitan which Jeff and I did despite the rain and hail. I just might have to go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayjay Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hey, at least when I was there we were goin' high class, tipping the Glenlivet not the warm beers! (left that to James...and fortified, at that). Here's to Yos, climbing with cc.comers and feeding Fred! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for more freshiez now I am sure Fred was grateful for the grubbin I even heard alan was spotted smokin fatties too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russki82 Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 hey AK - did you get off route on the 7th pitch of the East Butt of El Cap by any chance??? We did...and it seems like we're not the only ones either...there were tons of rap slings that each party left after getting themselves up the creek. I'm talking about that pitch where it LOOKS like the line to take is straight up a chimney and then into the grassy cracks above, whereas the actual route lies further right, on top the arete. Actually our leader ended up aiding right through the off-route section and back onto the route - he described it as horrendous climbing at 5.12 level (by his estimate - he didn't risk freeing it due to large runout) with only delicate skyhook placements for quite some distance, and 40 foot fall potential... fantastic route, though...

plexus Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Hey AK, Just like you...never thought I'd want to go down there and put it off for years...but it's just too damn good ... Ran out of time to do East Buttress...need to head down there with about a month's time. Also like I could buy rum within park boundaries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
