1) Toss up between Highland Peak or Pyramid Peak.

2) Goals, too many. But I do have some unfinished business on Dana that I'm going to take care of in September.

1. Whitney via JMT. No resupply.
2. Whitney via JMT in winter, no resupply. Don't think it has been done.

1) YOUR FAVORITE CLIMB? and WHY?
Peak that challenged you physically, mentally, technically, or all of the above. You feel it is the best that you have done to challenge your body and mind.

2) YOUR GOAL? and WHY?
Mountain or route you really want to do at some point in the future. It should stand out by it's challenge or beauty.

BONUS question: lake with awesome bass fishing and llamas walking around? or just one

1) El Capitan - needs no explanation

2) Tis-sa-ack , Half Dome - are there any better asthetics?

BONUS - Hopefully not anywhere in the USA

Bass fishing? Sorry but the cold water will not work for bass, not fresh water anyways. Trout is what you get.

Hey Chief, Is the fourth picture the Citadel? I went back to correct spelling and delete the other photos. YES THE CITADEL.

Was tickled to see that my top 3 days in the Sierra are all listed by Dingus, and I haven't done the other two: Cathedral, Conness, BCS N. Arete.

Goals that have gathered some dust: Ritter and Lyell by any means (separate trips, of course!), Swiss Arete, and most anything else in the Pallisades (shockingly, never been). For now, the little one needs to get some years under her belt

I don't do WEEKENDS... too many humans in one place.

I was there through the week and had the entire place to ourselves except for a crew of two youngsters that came and went in a day and a half and we never crossed paths until they strolled by our camp asking directions on how to get the fk outta there.

Just another climb in the Pals.... no better nor worse than any other....just a route.

Cheers fellers.

Which one is that?
We did Robinson, and NW ridge of T-bolt. On the ridge also signed a register of some unnamed peak. Were 1st to sign this year. It was really awesome. Descended underhill coloir (as I remember). The area is awesome, everthing looks great. So many other peaks omg, it was like visiting Vatican.

Looks great

Dude, be careful what you wish for -- for these dudes any kind of paradise implies some combination of poison oak, wide cracks and/or volcanic choss

Just need a once a year obscure hint Ding. I'll find it eventually.

Thought I had it a year or so ago. But can't find the photo anymore.

Trial and error is the best kind of hunting.
