Took my son to appreciate the Meadows on his first western road trip, when he was 13. Needle and Spoon was a highlight.
Appreciated it so much we went back with Wootles the next year.
Later, the lad became Californian.

Tar, your wonderful library makes me wish that in my youth, I'd taken more pictures of people, and fewer pictures of rocks
which mostly look the same now as then.

Tar,
I knew certain among your photo library were bound to appear in this wonderful thread. I kept checking back with a kind of morbid curiosity...on the "lighter side"--Tuolumne is the best place in the world. As a dad now, I look forward to spending time on the beach, each year, with my growing brood (now 3 kids!)
Recent postings notwithstanding, your thread domination continues unabated....Hobbit Book IS the best!

Third Pillar, Mt Dana
Variation starts, right of the standard route:
(my line, Pajamarama, starts at a detached square block, then along the right of a prominent fin; I think Maysho did the next one right)
Shelley on the outside variation of The Ear, mid route:

Quite a life in photos! Your slide collection must fill a whole closet, sitting there dusty and dark for years until scanners
and the internet happened along and you could bring them back to the light.

LongAgo wrote these words long ago:
“Upon hearing a conversation such as this one, TM Herbert would probably have said, ‘All right, to your corners. At the sound of the bong you’ll have one minute. Bottles and logs permitted.’ But TM didn’t arrive in Tuolumne until a week or so later. When he did, we set out to do a new route on a dome near Medlicott (the dome is tentatively called The Lamb, and the new route, Lament, III, 5.10). TM is the only climber who is an expert at both whimpering and karate. One section of the new route was 5.10 smallholds climbing, and TM began his mind-blowing moans at the sight of the tiny crystals. After various pops, whistles and screams, he managed the section and calmly claimed that the climb was one of the nicest he had done. Apparently even 5.10 can be kicks in Tuolumne.”
In the original 1969 American Alpine Journal article, for some reason (no fault of LongAgo’s, I’m sure) the magical place is consistently misspelled “Toulumne.” I sanitized the quotation above. But anyway ... I was at an impressionable age, back when I first read this passage by LongAgo, and I immediately added Lament to my list of life’s goals. Like all my other goals at that time I was not ready for such a lead yet. But a few years later I came back, to run out the tiny crystals imagining “mind-blowing ... pops, whistles and screams.”

Yes Chiloe,
Quite a stack of dusty old slides to be sure & the dust shows up great when you scan them too!
Nita,
Yes, Jenny Bergeron; she was a lot of fun, and I'm sure the two of you worked together at the lodge. When I was done with guiding, we'd go climbing, she'd then head off to the lodge and I would go eat at "side hall" remember that? Pretty good fare for the employees I must say.
