Hi
A friend just forwarded this thread.

In late November I was hiking down Tenaya Canyon when I saw this thing coming in
Andy Selters went back two weeks later, pretty fun

The Tioga Pass kiosk looked boarded up and empty when I went through last week.

We did the route on Drug Dome on Thursday, 12/29 along with at least three other parties (hi Doug :) The route was getting some luv, that's for sure.


Some thin parts on the first pitch made for fun climbing, and really enjoyed the second pitch. I vaguely remember seeing a name attached to the route at some point while reading about it some years ago, but for the life of me cannot recall what it was. I'm also curious about the FA history. I posted a route page on mountainproject here -

Corrections welcome.

Sounds like this climb is hanging in there.

Does anyone have an update on conditions over the last few days?

Thanks & Cheers, Brian

dit, saw your ice skating videos. You should skate 1000 Island Lake - would be surreal.

I don't ice climb but my buddy Ted spent Christmas in Yosemite and he sent me these pictures that had me wondering.....has Vernal Falls ever formed enough to be climbed?




Apparently there was a Sasquatch sighting this year....could've been the medicinals.......
