Well, as many of you know, I broke my ankle on my first day of summer. It was the first day of my season of climbing in yosemite that I had been waiting for for 180 school days of hell! So as you can imagen on day 1 I was SOOOO stoked for climbing, and it was the NA wall. I fell 30 feet up and broke my ankle :( season over!...

... until now!

I got my cast off on the 21st of july. And have just started being able to hike pretty well. So to the mountains I go in search of hiking and VERY easy rock climbing in the high country.


We had mount emerson in mind but were shut down due to rain. It was still a very fun hike and a good adventure! We checked out the base and are coming back soon as it looks like much fun!

Then on day 2 we hiked out to north dome! A hike we have done before and liked. we stopped at indian rock for the first time and that was very radical! And proceeded on to the dome.. we herd 2 HUGE bomb type sounds that echoed in the park. My guess was they are blasting rock to build a road or something.


So, on our next day, we had dreams of north ridge of mount coness, but again, due to weather, did a hike instead! So we headed up to mount hoffman! A very rad peak that we are sure to return to in the future! The thumb looks SOO fun!
Trekking poles are my new best friends! My ankle needs em!


These next 2 photos are for you high sierra lovers. I see about 100 AWESOME corners and aretes that are of FA territory. So many fun hard and easy climbs I was scoping. Any info on them if people have climbed it woud be cool as I want to get up there when my ankle heals and do some new routin!


The next day was the day we left. we did a presidential boulder session in the morning. saw a wingsuiter fly off somewhere near taft point. then aid climbed tree route to test out my ankle with aid climbing. Then jumped in the merced and headed home!

So thats it, 3 big fun hikes, 1 pitch of easy aid, 3 wet rainy bivys, 1 jump in a river, 1 boulder, 2 hours of starring and dreaming at el cap, and tons of other fun!

I have until august 25 to do something awesome on the captain until I have to go back to the mind control facility. So perhaps 1 el cap climb if I am lucky, but 1 thing is for shore, this fall season will be epic! many more adventures to come!
