Reilly: how would you compare Prusik Peak to Cathedral Peak in Tuolumne in terms of climbing aesthetics?

TT, Prusik definitely gets the nod. More routes of sustained quality in a
fabulous setting, not that Cathedral is in some kind of slum, mind you. :-)
I don't know how many it has now but it could easily have 15-20.

That is some supremely disturbing sh#t DMT.
Even after my family connecting me to this place is gone, this will be my genetic nexus, the original body from which I spawned, in which I self taught the jammage, the composure needed for 30' badfall freesolos, the inexplicable embrace of the unprotected fissile flake run on the hands. This place will supplant the loss of my parents. This place will give some imagined stasis in a dynamic world.

the smell of sage tells me i am home.
formative months living on the grasslands... before porta-potties, fenced off camping areas or fees... wiling the late fall and early spring away...
always wonder what happened to a crew of four (three dudes and a chick) from iirc mammoth. they all lived in a tiny camper and for much of the time were the only people living out there with me. from what i gathered/imagined the story was that they were on the run from crooked drug dealing cops? all i know for sure is that they sure became law abiding whenever we passed a cop car.
one of them had been in one of the early "extreme" skiing comps in alaska. he had a portfolio with a photo of him dropping a +100' cliff. the shorter dude had dreads but was quite bald... one morning the other other dude was brushing his hair and with each brush, quite literally, handfuls of hair would fall out. the dreaded dude was sympathetic and said something about how he remembered when that happened to him. and that's when the hair brushing dude explained that no his hair wasn't falling out rather it had been pulled out the night before by his irate girlfriend (the chick) because they had been pulled over by the cops while he was drunk and had only remained unbusted due to pure unadulterated luck...
the proish skier met a chick at a cafe and moved in with her within weeks of arriving...
a lot of dreams. and probably nightmares as well.
but good people.
they let me stay in the camper when they left to go back and visit friends before christmas...

Gnome it's the Skinner's Butte Columns in downtown Eugene, OR. Don't get me started about my irrational fondness for the place, I could go on forever
