potentially SuperTopoForum could be a place to review the important Yosemite accomplishments since 2002(?)

but how to actually mine the data?

anyone got any ideas?

probably the most straight forward would be to create a topic at the end of the year "Yosemite Highlights for xxxx" and have it out in the classic Forum style

but for now, I'm going to have to do some bit-diving to extract it... which is not all bad...

1987:
I soloed The Shield. Shared a beer and a Camel cigg with Mr Middendorf and Co and hid from rangers, collecting tin cans for 5c each and generally acting like the perfect climbing bum. But I smelt real bad! (for around 3 months only though)
