Spent yet another summer running around the playground that is the Sierra. Adventure was on our mind - its still out there, ya just gotta walk a bit further. This is part 1 - just the warm up for bigger and better objectives.

Ok, how do you live in florida and stay in 5.11 trad shape? Great photos, amazing locations, I'll give this TR an A+! Thanks for posting up, I wish more people would do TRs here on the taco.

Thanks guys.

I stay in shape through a steady diet of surfing, tree climbing, and dreaming... Lots of dreaming.

Beautiful shots! Thanks.

PS--Winter routes in the Sierra are off limits due to rare Peregrine Falcon and Bighorn Sheep migrations. Climbers should just stay away from any objectives in the Sierra from October through May. Not worth it. Just sayin' ;)
