Index, the closest thing to Yosemite, and only 4 hours from Portland instead of 13. Training at Index, you can go to the Valley and deal. The wide abides.

There had to be one benefit topping out at midnight, you didn't have to wait in line to go down the cables with the masses. Not many people get the top of Half Dome to themselves, you DOG!

Argus and I were down in the Valley last week getting spanked by the big walls.

 

We did a lap on Snake Dike. Fun route, but it's not really for a 5.7 leader.

 

I like the description for the top out "Second class slabs FOREVER"

 

Try doing the last 3 pitches in the dark with a shitty headlamp.

Think of the sun and minus a blackhole.

Very exciting and scary.

We felt like we were on the dark side of the moon.
