I hear the whisper! Any rain up there yet?

[John]

This weekend was 20% chance of showers and 30-40mph winds but it was warm, calm and dry all weekend. Only saw one other party.

Next weekends weather looks harder to call the bluff on but things change.

Oh yeah, beehive is right smack in the center of the photo near the upper of three prominent trees. Josh might have more detail if he can talk openly about his incident without panicking yet. Hehe.

[John]

How's this for a view!

This one is kinda funny. I wanted to run over and get the camera so Sue said she would clip off to a bolt so I could do so. I shot this photo when I was walking back as she is still working out the moves. She has no belayer but it looks normal.

[YETI]

Ha! 

I am sure I did that same thing to Kev one time, but to go get beers.

Except there was no protection for him to "clip off"

On second thought, I pretty much just bailed on belaying him....

Ya, what's new?


Missing the place and the crew. Hope you're all well.

Hi Jeffe!

word on the street: snow coming your way!

[jeff]

We are keeping are fingers crossed Rob. The local Mammoth forecaster is saying 2 feet or more on the mountain but we are a bit lower here in June. The last storm gave us about 6" here but then turned to rain for most of the storm. We will take any precip we can get though.

Hi Jefe! We're doing fine. How about you? I hear ya on the storm front. So no skiing yet? Was recently thinking of some good memories visiting you guys in Wawona for a fondue holiday party. 

[jeff]

Come on over, lets do it again! Fun fun fun!

Yep, no skiing yet for us. Maybe this storm will pan out. Just horizontal spittle so far but tonight is when it's spose to hit.

What route is that above your leading Sue? Nice looking stone. Also looking well protected. Missing that Shuteye rock. Just clipping bolts in the ORG for me these days. Hurt my wrist on a new route and didn't lay off and now it wont heal. Can't seem to lay off on a few new projects but I need to. Finished two new routes this season so far. There is a popular and very fun 10c called, excuse me, Show Us Your Tits. I named my route that I put up to the left of it Thanks for the Mamories. I was also thinking of calling it Big or Small We Like Them All or just Men Are Such Pigs. With all the time I spent there cleaning the choss I have yet to see a single boob.

Speaking of Choss, there is a ton of rock here with Robs name all over it.

So very much want to get back to the ORG. We were thinking about it over tgiving, but then got sick.

My first route in the ORG... Gorgeous. This was one of my first road trips with friends from REI. We hit the ORG on the way up to Lover's Leap. Such a good time. I wish I had the names of all the climbers we ran into on that trip. The one guy at LL, that showed me the Lord of the Rings boulder problem. The guy that lead a bunch of things at Donner for us, and I rose to the challenge of those 5.11s on TR. This is like just out of high school. I was such a grom, but it was way fun.

Anyways, Gorgeous. Stunning line. Got stymied at the first crux, moved down, then pushed through. Got smoking pumped near the top on the easy ground. Luckily I brought a yellow TCU and put it in a pocket up there somewhere. I'm not sure we did much else that day. We pushed on thru to LL that night sleeping on the side of the road at some point. The next morning.. MIND BLOWN... by LL. Barely anyone there. Got on The Line, without any lineup. Amazing time.  Just the start of many road trips, but I just don't go to LL anymore since the ST guides came out.

Sorry, thread drift there.
