Since Smith Rock our adventures have taken us to Lake Tahoe, Tuolomne Meadows and San Francisco. In Lake Tahoe we met up with my sister, her husband, and their two amazingly adorable children. We climbed, swam, cooked and played- oh yeah and we got to shower, do laundry and sleep in real beds! Luxurious!
After Lake Tahoe we headed up to Reno for Rosh Hashanah then to Tuolomne Meadows. The absolute highlight of Tuolomne, and perhaps of the climbing portion of our trip, was climbing the Third Pillar of Dana. Although we don't have pictures of our own,
here is a description of the route and below are a few we grabbed from the internet. The climb involved a 3 hour uphill hike, a one hour, exposed, fourth class downclimb, 5 pitches of excellent climbing and a 1.5 hour hike back. All in all it took nearly 12 hours to complete the adventure. It was beautiful, stunning, challenging, inspiring and many other things that words cannot describe.
It looks like a giant pile of rocks, but it's really an incredible route!
