| Description | Polly Anikeeva Woody Hoburg Early June, 2007 School's over and I'm working in Pasadena for the summer. What an excellent excuse for climbing trip. Main stops in Moab, UT and Yosemite. By my rough count we did a total of 34 pitches over the entire course of the trip -- only three pitches more than the Nose of ElCap (which we climbed the first pitch of for fun). Many successes: -1st time climbing in west for Polly -Unplanned bivy -1st time aiding for Polly -ran it out past half rope -Cooked a delicious breakfast, in a JetBoil, in a truck stop -Polly is now one of few people that has decended cables route on Half Dome, but never climbed it -Navigated dirt road by compass for ~20 miles with no map -Got scared and wimped out on one climb -Invented best sandwich ever -Consumed worst Mac&Cheese concoction ever -And best of all, climbed some stuff, and didn't get hurt. |
