Lost Lake offers up reflections of Half Dome in Little Yosemite Valley. Six pics stitched together to make a wider angle.

We brought way too much gear for this route, but luckily I was able to con Kelsey (prezwoodz) into carrying it all on lead (heh heh heh). Here's one of the infamous near-full-pitch runouts on Snake Dike, and yes, that bolt is his only pro for this pitch.

This is me chillin at the top of Half Dome after climbing Snake Dike.

Half Dome from Dinner Ledge on Washington's column.

Amanda sits and contemplates weighty things atop Clouds Rest, the highest granite peak in Yosemite. She seems to be mimicing Half Dome's posture.

After the never-ending slabs at the top of Snake Dike. (Bob and me)

Another shot of Half Dome taken from the Glacier Point area.

My first trip to the Valley. Had to take the requisite shots of El Cap, Half Dome, and te falls. Can't wait to get up on this and the other walls. I'm guessing they are what, 5.6 o 5.7 three pitch climbs? No problem!

Still going...what a long day! Greate bolt ladders...fun chimney...smelly "big sandy" ledge!

We climbed up Snake Dike on Half Dome and how could you summit Half Dome without taking the obligatory hanging over 2000 feet of air shot? Gotta love Yosemite. Except the mass of Memorial Day Tourons. Could do without that!

This is a photo of one of the upper pitches of Snake Dike (Pitch 5 I think). Notice that I haven't reached the first and only bolt of that pitch....

Brooke and I on the diving board. Brooke is 10 on this trip to the valley and climbing pretty well. Sometimes gummy bears and candy have to be placed on routes to encourage primal little girl brain.

this is one of the belay stations towards the end of the route. pretty cool.

This is a shot I took while I was wandering around the valley.

hiking up half dome, saw two guys Topping out just as we got there.

This is a shot from the east side of Half-Dome as Travis, Arturo, Sandy, and I hiked up.

Just after finishing half dome. I copied Alex Huber to get this pic

Alex Huber, after soloing Snake Dike, spends a little time checking out the face of Half Dome.

This is Half Dome from the Summit of North Dome after Summiting the RA to Crest Jewel Direct Route.

Sometimes it's the simple stuff that makes you happy. This was taken in a meadow on a crisp November morning, after a frost hit the Valley the night before.

The sky was a brilliant shade of purple, and the moment was just right to take this photo of Half Dome with the moon rising in the night.

This was the view from our campsite. Probably the best campsite Ive ever had.
