Yosemite 2
Oct 8 - Early start at Manure Pile Buttress was scuppered by my haviing lost my belay device and then getting seriously lost on the one-way ring road back from the shop.Sarah and I did 'After Six' (5.7), five pitches on flawless granite, which was our first real taste of Yosemite climbing. We summitted to spectacular views of the whole valley, El Cap to the left and Half Dome to the right. Bruno and Jenny came up just after, having done the ultra classic 'Nutcracker'.

Not sure what a Grade 6, 5.7 granite crack grab is or what the hell all the climbing gear gadgets are (isn't it just a rope, and if you are feeling a bit girly a helmet too?). Anyway sat here looking at the rainy grey of Bristol and imagining the towering majestic beauty of soaring granite cliffs, Redwoods straining to match the lofty heights of the eagles soaring in the azure blue cloudless sky, i get really pissed off!
Not sure I am reading the right blog ...:)
