My first multi-pitch experience. Stan here took us under his wing for this outing. A lot of fun, but four people on a multi pitch with three of us being new to it.... made for a loooong day. We got drizzled on briefly, but all in all a beautiful climbing day. By the way.... in this photo just a little bit further up the crack is/was a well nestled cam. I [i]almost[/i] got it out with my nutting tool, but as it was quite crowded that day I couldn't fool with it long enough. -_-

The fisrt pitch of another fun Yosemite Valley route on glacier point apron. Gabe is leading it up for us.

That's me standing at the bottom of Harry Daley. I wish the picture had been taken with the nose in the background... would have been funny.

Steve leads the first pitch of the Harry Daley Route, 5.8, 2 pitches on Glacier Point Apron in Yosemite Valley. He is just through the slick section making his way up and left to the roof with the splitter hand crack in it (right of the dead tree). This is a wonderful route, very laid back. If you venture up there do Chouinard Crack (5.7) right next store. The Glacier Point Apron is the landing zone of much recent rockfall activity, be careful out there! This picture was taken in March 2002 by me, Dr.Ed aka Ed Hartouni.

Getting ready to rap off from my last climb in the valley... aaahhh the valley *sigh*

There was a time when all you needed to know about climbing shoes was what size you wore.

This is Nick B. and I on the second pitch of " The Grack" . rated 5.6 and alot of fun! I think it was like our second route of the trip..the first being "After Six" 5.7....we were too hungover to get on anything long that day so we went with this. Great Route!

The Grack Crack! Hey, this jamming thing is starting to make sense!

Last pitch of The Grack. Solid hands slowly narrow down to fingers.

Allison approaches the end of the crack on the last pitch of The Grack.
