Yosemite

So, for the first time in about half a year, a blog post! This is because I am in the US working again.

So, this weekend, me and Peter went to Yosemite to climb a little, more specifically we wanted to climb Royal arches, a 16 pitches 5.7 (5+ ish), going up under on of the arches in Yosemite valley, and one of the classic easier climbs.

We are going up here!!

Going up was awesome, really nice climbing! Going down was not that great... Ten rappels even with two ropes....


Sunday we went to Reeds pinacle area, here is Reeds pinacle seen from a chimney we went up to set up a toprope.


Peter doing great on a horrible offwith I could barely get of the ground on.

Spelunking or climbing? And sunglasses on?
