Hi there,

We had the most perfect three week trip to Yosemite and we're now in San Francisco enjoying our Gin Tonics while waiting for the flights to leave.

We've uploaded some pics online for our friends back in Finland and since we wrote the texts in English we thought some of you might want to check these pics, too.

Great photos, especially the man boobies ;)

Yous guys really tore up the rocks while you were here - congrats on a superb trip!

Do you guys know my friend Mikko Routala? I haven't seen him in years - I think he became a famous TV weatherman or something. Tell him to get off his ass and come back to Yos!

Cheers,
Pete

Yes, we know him. He's the weather man on Channel 4 here in Finland. I'll forward this topic to him. :)

Great trip report, admirable documentation! I was there then and did so much less it's embarassing. I bet you'll be coming back.

"Any feedback would be appreciated"

OK, here is my input:

-Very nice pictures, but I can't help to feel a bit uncomfortable reading your captions.

Stuff like "Really mad because we had to wait" and "Geezers" and the over all "we are two badass climbers who really rip every climb apart - mentality" just leaves me with a bad after taste...

My suggestion is; - Try to be a little bit humble, especially when it seems to be posted on a Patagonia web page.

(BTW 20 hours on the Nose is Really slow, I hope you didn't get in the way of some faster climbers ;)

Awesome job!
After reading the above comment I went back and read all your captions-did I miss something? I didn't see anything you need to apologze for. Wish I moved that fast.
