"The Balls."
I'm an adult but I still chuckle a bit when I say it. You can take the boy out of sixth grade, but you can't always take sixth grade out of the boy, I suppose.
The Balls is about 45minutes outta Oakhurst. Big dreamy domes, short approaches, golden granite and no crowds. With Shuteye just around the corner a dude could climb a lifetime here and never tire. That's exactly what I plan to do. I'm pretty much a weekend hack, but I've been doing it for twenty years now so I kinda know my way around the Western Sierra. I got a wife and four kids, so our missions tend to take on a bit of an "alpine" character. Bottom line is, I always try to get home for breakfast. With 1:45 minute drive each way, I gotta have motivated partners and two alarm clocks.

This weekend I left the still camera at home. I took my camcorder and my i-phone and shot us on a formation called The Golden Toad. A cool formation with a 15minute uphill approach and a smashing view of the Minarets 30 miles from the summit. Enjoy.
