... springs, a father and his eleven year old son. His son was chatting with us for a while about his future dreams for a political degree from Harvard, but “only if the prices go down” . Afterward we made a few stops driving through the entire park of Yosemite to check out the mountains and scenery. We were able to see a man free climbing the face of a gigantic mountain! Afterward we took a shot at free climbing, and scaled ...

... 5.9 or easier moves, the route meanders back and forth on the spire, creating amazing exposure at times. Higher Cathedral Spire is the pointy spire on the right-hand side in the background We hit some of the 5.9 variation pitches, including the second pitch ...

... and another which I can't remember at the moment as I was having an internal meltdown at his rudeness. They were okay not as good as what we had tasted at other places but I will say the Hef was outstanding, crisp and refreshing.

We head back to the hotel and hang out by the pool so Marshall can enjoy his cigar and just relax. It is 80 degrees but there is no humidity so it was totally enjoyable. Tomorrow, bright and early we head to Yosemite.

... granite domes, immense waterfalls, verdant valleys and pretty damn good weather make this National Park truly a paradise on Earth. Of course, we were drawn to Yosemite for its climbing; it's the place – the climber’s mecca, and it is where modern climbing was defined ...

... voucher had the 12th to 14th on it and our days had expired. The bloke that was checking us in didn't know what to do except point out the mistake. He got someone else (same guy that checked us in last time that was listening to Elvis) and he said that he'd give us a room regardless. By the time that was sorted we were feeling sick and I felt that my legs were going to give way thinking we may not have a room. The park is also full so who knows where we would have gone. We got a room on ...

... war eine heiße Dusche, für die wir mit dem Park eigenen Shuttelbus 30 min fahren mussten. 2 Kletterer die gerade erst angekommen waren, hatten sich an ihrem ersten Tag gleich zuviel vorgenommen und mussten die Nacht an der Wand übernachten. Bei bis zu 0C, kein Wasser und noch Shorts und T-Shirt an.

... estos días hemos hablado en varias ocasiones acerca de la poca (NULA) presencia social de los indios americanos en EEUU. Hoy queríamos desquitanos, y para ello hemos ido expresamente a ese lugar en Yosemite. La conclusión es que no sabemos si es mejor no escuchar nada o ver lo que hemos visto hoy... La historia es triste porque los pocos indios que han sobrevivido lo han hecho gracias a adecurarse al turismo ...

... Table (triple cheese and the size of a car tyre - not nice) we got up early and headed for Yosemite National Park. First stop was the Bridalveil Falls where we parked and took a walk through the trees to the base of the falls. There were many large boulders and rocks with many people trying to climb them, unsuccsefully, just to get a little closer to the spray. After our short exhersion the ...

... about 20 minutes later and checked in. The room was nice despite the fact that the lodge was a little disappointing. We were expecting more of a real mountain-type lodge with log fires burning etc. but found it to be more of a motel style hotel with all the rooms outside of the main building. Well - we were only there for the night and were planning on heading off early the next morning so as to make the most of our day in Yosemite.

... som na nom tento vikend najazdil vam mozem zodpovedne povedat, ze lepsie auto som este nesoferoval. Povodne som si objednal "2-dverovy 6-valec, aby sa nam lepsie islo do vrchov" ale tento Mustang bol naozaj prekvapenie. A bola to parada do vrchov! V Kalifornii su kopciska poriadne velke - vacsie ako na Slovensku. A poviem vam, predbiehat niekoho do 12% stupania je s tymto autom uplna malina ...
