Last weekend NgocStar, Dr. Dave, J-Fire and I headed up to Yosemite for a little rock-on-rock action. Ngoc posted a good recap and Dave some rock’n (pun intended) photos. Dave’s photos may be good… but what can compete with the 500ms response time of an iPhone? oh right, disposable crap.
What make bouldering in Yosemite so awesome and distinguishes it from bouldering, well, anywhere else, is the periods of time in between when you’re on the rock. Because you’re chilling in Yosemite. And that’s enough for celebration in itself.
J-Fire sent the Octagon (V6/7), and Dave sent, among others, Circuit Breaker, a beautiful and very clean high-ball finger crack (from which he fell just short of topping out on first attempt!). I was very happy to be back climbing at all. The shoulder performed at over 70%, and the ribs didn’t hurt except when landing on them. Ngoc was also in good form, consistently hitting moves I just don’t have the strength to do… yet!
El Cap, the grand daddy of them all: (5 year plan? 10 year plan?)
