Yosemite. The place has been described in every way imaginable, and all are true. To sum it up quickly, it has huge granite peaks, large vertical faces, and breathtaking views. It is a cool place to rock climb.
George and I in front of El Cap.
Our buddy Tommy got a job in the park, and we had to visit him. Tommy is new to climbing, but he is a natural. He also has an attitude that makes him try harder than any other person on rock. He screams and hollers from strain, and always tries hard routes.
The second pitch of Central Pillar of Frenzy. Tommy came with us and hollered his way up his first finger crack.
We had the fortune of climbing with Tommy in Yosemite. His passion served as my inspiration to keep on working in the month of grape sorting that I was about to do. I was inspired by the vision of being there again.
The last pitch of CPF. We were all pretty pooped after this.
Tommy on the first rappel.
See you after wine season.
