Yosemite: Nose, Half Dome, Leaning Tower & Washington Column Report this Post Average: (0 ratings)	Can't Post

Hi there,

We had the most perfect three week trip to Yosemite and we're now in San Francisco enjoying our Gin Tonics while waiting for the flights to leave.

We've uploaded some pics online for our friends back in Finland and since we wrote the texts in English we thought some of you might want to check these pics, too.

Washington Column: South Face (October 4th):

So jealous. I spent 5 weeks in Tuolomne this summer climbing, but only 3 days in the Valley because of the heat and a climbing partner that wasn't ready for it yet. I had all the topos printed out for the big formations, my aiders, haul bag, fifi, micros, you name it- I was so psyched on doing at least a few of the big stones. I did the Harding Route on Mt. Coness Grade V 5.11b in the Sierras as my only Grade V. Your pictures have brought back incredible memories. Oh how I wish I was in camp 4 right now racking up for DNB or Half Dome, or anything. Well, I'll just have to settle for my little 80 foot sport project instead. Woo hoo!!

Yall boys really have some nice photos there. Way to pick off all those walls in quick times. No hauling heavy pigs for the fast ones.

impressive time on Half Dome. That wall took me 22 hours and I was exhausted at the end.

Rock on

How long does it take to book plane tickets? Wink

We were browsing through the guidebooks every now and then and we made a list of possible routes but everything else was decided in Yosemite the day before the climb.
