Awesome Dan. Great pic of mountain joy!

Is that Nightwatch?

Ah HAH! So you are climbing!!!

Golden Toad

I did go climbing. I am slow. I need to stop and rest and catch my breath about four times per pitch. But hey, I didn't blow a gasket and die.

I recognize that face and expression! Seems only a few short years ago but must have been longer that this boy was a toddler. They really do seem to grow up overnight.

Glad to see you climbing out there Dan! Love the photo.

Still trying to figure out the photo upload... these were from Friday night before the smoke filled in.

Was that a shooting star in the first pic?

Beautiful night sky pictures!

Was that a shooting star in the first pic?

I'm pretty sure it was a UFO... or an airplane.

hell yeah! Living large now! Every move a joy! Every breath a reminder. Really stoked you got out!

Dan, your cool pic reminded me of playing at the Balls a few times with my son at 8 and 9 yrs. old. Priceless times.
Atop No Name Ridge after a 5.1 scramble.

Same day, John on one of the moldy old No Name routes.
Seems the images get resized on the Soyo site photo albums, so John is just a speck, (though we know he's really larger than life).

Last year scrambling w/Lucas
Let's see if a link to a pic in a google photos album works...


Nope.
Uploading to site again...

cool pix, was at the balls the last couple days, back side of the toad, and back side of night watch. Couple new routes on the back side toad, the new 5.9 is pretty fun :-)

For cute Nate! Great to see your scrambling buddy photos! And early season with snowy Sierra backdrop. Hope by some miracle the smoke clears up for you when you get out there soon.
Seems that no where is exempt from at least a haze, though not able to be at all these places at once: Tahoe,108,120, Soyo, Courtright...


Wonder how was the air quality at the Balls, Mike?

[DaveyTree]

Up near Courtright on Friday and today. Skies are clear of smoke.
