gapertimmy Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 i'm hoping to get at least a week off in september to head to the most sacred of grounds in all of the world. i'll be spending a good chunk of time with wife, cruising the backcountry by foot, but am hoping to kick it in the front country crags as well. i know its a long shot, but wanted to put out the feelers and see if anyone was going to be in the valley or tuolomne in mid to late september (no skeeters, less tourists, cooler weather) Quote
sayjay Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 hopin' to be there for a week or two myself... unless i'm in jail with erik. LET'S CLIMB! Quote
chelle Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Plan to join either the Yosemite Sep trek or the jail party. Whichever sounds more fun at the time... Quote
hollyclimber Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 I'll be there the whole month most likely, but at least three weeks... Quote
texplorer Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 I'll be there for at least a week too. What are you guys planning to climb while there. Anyone interested in the Rostrum or I could be convinced to get back on the Steck-Salathe again. Can't wait to crank some king cobras too. Quote

Matt Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 I wanna go too!!! When I was in the valley in May we even had a cc.com Pub Club!!! I ran into maybe a dozen WA climbers in Camp 4-- Team Washington was strong!!! Quote

Would like to have a strong climbing partner with good rope skills and strong climbing reserve. Also looking for climbing partners that know the cascade area and can help me learn the area. If intereset PM me and we can discuss plans climb hard, ride fast, and don't piss in the wind. later Quote
glen Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 I'll be in TM mid august to early september. Granite is good! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 glen I think I like TM better than overcrowded valley. Quote
gapertimmy Posted June 20, 2002 Author Posted June 20, 2002 anybody want to go explore some of the NW part of the park (up past eleanor/kibbie lakes)? I spent 3 months up in there, and it is just one big ol chunk of granite. i would imagine we could find some rawks to climb Quote

glen Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 erik and gapertimmy, you should consider a traverse of the Kuna Crest starting at Dana Meadows and dropping down from peak 12,458 (or something like that) to Helen Lake and back out. If you have time, you can get Gibbs on the way out. Lot's of nice views, almost no trails and lot's of killer views. Another one I havn't done yet is to start at Tioga and follow the range crest north as far as daylight permits (probably Conness if speedy) and out at Saddlebag. Awesome territory. Don't even get me started on the joys of Tenaya Canyon! Quote

Coondog Posted June 23, 2002 Posted June 23, 2002 Will be wrapping up a 2 month or so climbing roadtrip in Yosemite mid to late Sept, and plan on staying there 3-4 weeks. Looks like I've found a wingman for my roadtrip, and we'll be looking to climb a couple wall routes and generally mosey around and climb whatever in TM or elsewhere. Guy at Index was telling us about some 'Third Pillar?' full day 5.9 arete just outside the park that's outstanding that I wish I hadn't completely blanked the name of... Anyway, will be there & interested in pretty much anything. --cd. Quote
