I hate ants. Wonder if sprinkling some red pepper around the belay would chase em off or piss em off.

there is no such thing as "an ant" just as there is no such thing as "a black fly." no?

i've always liked Edward Wilson's quip: "The only difference between the lives of ants and the lives of [you bipeds] is that ants don't watch TV."

This is about the most pithy report I've seen. He took Elvis' advice to heart:

This is one badass photo. Amazing what zoom can do to perspective.


Taken from somewhere between North Dome and the ND gully? Or where?

I don't recognize this one as Yosemite. Castle Crags, maybe?

It's okay, neebee, thanks. The important thing is that my official TR count is now a more auspicious number.

Thanks, all.

The Half Dome photo was taken on a hike up past the falls and along the rim. I think North Dome was my goal, but I had no way to know where exactly I was.

Here are a couple other photos from the location, of Half Dome and in the opposite direction a trail.





edit:
Yes, Castle Crags
