Alpamayo, there are no bad days in the Valley, for sure, everything you do is graced by the magic of the place...
and tell our friend "Hi" from me, great days in Tuolumne Meadows with her, looking forward to more in the future...

Was up there with Matt Hale in the late sixties. Apparently, we thought this was a reasonable place to unrope...

My comment is that if you can handle the approach, you'll be fine. In a word: "Spectacular."

LOL. I think he also grew a finger back.
Thanks for all the great photos.

The climb is unforgettable. The approach is totally forgettable.
A ten-hour round trip for Mathis and me in '70, spire and arete.
You missed out, Grossman.

the broken image links seem to always be a problem...
Gary on the pitch 4 lead, Arrowhead Arete
Gary following pitch 5, the "White Flake" pitch
The granite "needle" that fell, broke in half, and rests on pitch 6 noted in the SuperTopo as "rock arch"... truly amazing
The view looking back along the "amazing exposed ridge" which probably would be 4th class if there weren't so much air on either side! From the "spike belay" atop pitch 7
Linda, Bela and PeterC and I were up there yesterday... great day and great companions
Bela belaying pitch 1 from the tree in the notch
Linda contemplating the moves through the Pitch 2 crux...
...and at the top of Pitch 3
end of the day traverse
PeterC was too fast for my camera...
it was a wonderful day

I climbed AA a couple of three times. Great adventure and fitness workout with the approach. I always thought at least one of the pitches felt 5.9 vs 5.8.
