I'm a devout SoYoist to a fault!

We did not climb Medusa. When we topped out there were threatening clouds coming. They never delivered over us, though were close.

I climbed John Eleazarian's Piyu Dome West Face Route today.  This is a fantastic route.  The topo available on the members section is right on except for there are now two welcome belay bolts at "The Oven" belay.  I cannot imagine how you would get a belay here without those bolts.  All pitches indicated in the topo are short except for Pitch 4.

"The Oven" is definitely an apt name for the third pitch belay location.

My wife and I are headed up Sunday for a few days camping at my usual spot at Piyau. Munge, you know the spot. We will be scattering the ashes of my oldest and best friend of over 50 years, Robert 'BuB' Della Valle. We spent many summers up there and he wished it to be his final rest [as do I]. Drop by if you are in the area M through W. Pic is of BuB on a long backpack we did from Mineral King to the Kaweahs where we climbed Squaretop, then out through Angel's Wings. Pistolas welcome. Best-lars

Good to hear you're heading up. It's a good spot. Rest well Bub!


Thx for the invite. Unfortunately, I'm down in SJ doing some recovery from a minor procedure and also nursing epicondylitis in the right elbow. Keep me in mind for the next outing, as usual.

And fire a few rounds for me!

Lars, I bet many of us have that final wish in common, to get scattered where we have felt happily free, explored to exhaustion, and revitalized in the beauty of the place time and again. I’m So very sorry for your loss. Cheers to your 50 years of friendship with Bubb, and yes many fiery rounds!
