Nice... I really like the photo essay thing. Say, what shoes are you wearing? Are those La Sportiva SUPERDRAGO?

hey Pete, nice report- great ascent. If you resized all those images one at a time, I feel bad for you. next time use XNview (download for free at XNview.com). It'll automatically resize many images in one fell swoop. Easy to use.

Cybelle - Pete's partner - totally rocks. I chatted with her for 15 minutes in the mountain shop and at Leaning Tower and she is one spunky and talkative girl. In a short time I could see her passion pretty clearly. And she has that whole cute funky thing going on.
Definately tougher than I am...and she has WAY better hair than I have.

Aaargh! I am not worthy of all this credit despite Kate's kind fabrications about fearsome pitches ... and I never said I was offended. That was Kate again, being my winsome bodyguard. And, yes, climbing with Pete required prior innoculation. And, just for the record, no we weren't, well, you know. And... he's probably waiting on my pics to arrive in the mail before he makes the photo essay. Que mas? Hey I'm excited I'm gonna be in Alpinist mag next month. Woo hoo.

I bumped this post in case some of you guys haven't seen it, and because I'm arriving in Yosemite next week - woo-hooo!
I'm also putting together a similar post for a fishing website of my recent fishing trip with my dad to Algonquin Park, and I wanted to copy the format.

Great TR. Say, did you guys drink any coffee when you were up there?
Looking forward to the Algonquin Park pics. I took a trip up there with my Dad about 12 years ago. Awesome.

Coffee? COFFEE?! Hell, yeah, we drank coffee up there on the wall. Mornings don't even begin after 10 am and at least one pot of coffee from Dr. Piton's Shagadelic Big Wall Coffee Press. Trader Joe's dark roast is The ShIt!
Cool! Thanks for your interest in the fishing, too. It's an enormous amount of work making these photo essays, and I'm busy Photoshopping and resizing and uploading and writing. I'll be sure to post the link as soon as it's completed.
Here's a shot from a couple years ago - my dad and our Family Record 4-1/4 pound native [not stocked] speckled [brook] trout. This is a real trophy, for sure!
To catch this fish, we paddled for three days, and portaged five miles in each direction! How sick is that, eh?

Hey pete, i heard from kate that you had a detailed topo of sunkist or at least notes that were worth looking at and i was wondering if it is possible to get a copy of this from you. Great TR by the way, keep making them.
cheers,

Wow! That is a beautiful fish. I honestly didn't know that brookies got that big.
Just kidding about the coffee... I noticed that there were more shots of you guys drinking coffee than climbing. I can certainly identify as a dedicated caffeine addict myself.

Do you wear your Russian aiders when you fish?
What are your favorite flies for Tribal Rite?
