| rhyang | Cookie Sheet, Bishop's Terrace, Super Slide Date Climbed: Oct 17, 2009 | |
| Climbed with Mike. Saturday went to the Cookie Sheet and climbed about 8 pitches of friction in the 5.7 - 5.8 range. Sunday led Bishop's Terrace (5.8) (hand-jamming fest) and swapped leads on Super Slide (5.9) (great fun), except for last pitch - started drizzling so we rapped off. Beautiful weather for most of the weekend. Watching the clouds move into the valley on late Sunday afternoon was pretty. -- Routes climbed: The Grack, CS Concerto, After Seven Date climbed: 10-October-2009 Saturday climbed The Grack again with Laura Molnar. Sunday led the first 5.6 pitch of CS Concerto and then continued up the next four pitches of After Seven with Laura and Sean. -- Date climbed: May 2009 Climbed with Justin, great weather. Saturday climbed Munginella and The Grack (center, 5.6), then After Six (5.7) on Sunday. Led all ten pitches. -- Routes Climbed: Parkline Slabs, Jam Crack, Turkey Pie Date: 18-October-2008 Climbed with Mike. Saturday went to Parkline Slabs and climbed Right Side (5.7) in four pitches (Mike led three of them). Route was pretty nasty - moss, munge, loose rock .. still had some cool moves though. Three double rope raps off tree at the top to descend (two bolted anchors). Sunday went looking for Loggerhead Ledge (5.7) but decided against it and instead led Jam Crack (5.7) and Turkey Pie, both very fun routes. -- Routes Climbed: Munginella, Sloth Wall Date: 5-October-2008 Climbed with Sharon Nu. Fun climbing on Sunday after aid practice in the rain on Saturday. -- Routes Climbed: After Six, The Grack Date Climbed: Nov. 2006 Led After Six (5.7) up to the top of Manure Pile Buttress on Saturday - kind of a head game on the first pitch, followed by a bunch of easy pitches. Led The Grack on Sunday - fun, easy climbing with a nice bit of friction work at the top. Friday night was a little moist, but things dried out nicely by 11am Saturday when we started. Partly cloudy and pleasant weather all weekend. -- Route Climbed: Harry Daley, Munginella, Sloth Wall Date Climbed: October 7-8, 2006 Followed Craig and Carolyn up the full two pitches of Harry Daley on the Glacier Point Apron on Saturday, then TR'd some kind of licheny 5.10b friction fest nearby. On Sunday, climbed with Brad. Led Munginella in three pitches, and then went over to Knob Hill and followed Brad on Sloth Wall for his first Yosemite Valley 5.7 lead. Good company and good weather. Chilly in the morning, but warmed up by 10am. -- Route climbed: Glacier Point Apron routes Date climbed: 24-Sept-2006 Climbed with Craig, Carolyn, and Marie. Craig led up the first pitch of Harry Daley (5.8), and the rest of us followed. From the belay ledge Craig & Carolyn continued up the second 5.8 pitch of the route, while I led up Chouinard's Crack (5.7) with Marie following. Good times. -- Date Climbed: 20-May-2006 Route Climbed: Pine Line, Munginella Climbed with Peter - led Pine Line (5.7 finger crack) near El Capitan, then he led it. Flailed on a 5.10d toprope to the right of Pine Line, and hung out with Misha and Etsuko. We then headed over to Munginella, started up around 5pm and finished about 7-ish (climbed it in two pitches with a 60m rope) - Peter led the whole thing and did very well. Descent slabs were wet and we made use of the rap bolts. Mosquitoes were out and hungry pretty much all day. -- Date climbed: April 29-30, 2006 Route climbed: After Seven, Knob Hill Climbed Sat/Sun with Mike. On Saturday, Mike led the first pitch of After Seven (5.8) on the Manure Pile Buttress, and I swapped leads on the next pitches (up to about 5.5). My first multipitch leads on rock ! Looked at Loggerhead Ledge, but it was still too wet. Hung out with the DOA crowd Sat. nite. Sunday morning we looked around for the Little Wing area, but got lost in seemingly endless talus and woods. Went to Knob Hill instead, where I got to lead Sloth Wall (5.7). The crux was a little scary for me, but I got over it. Fun ! Mike then led Just For Starters (5.10a sport) and I followed. -- Date climbed: October 29-30, 2005 Routes climbed: Church Bowl, Munginella Spent the weekend climbing with Craig, Martin, Carolyn, and Patty. Saturday followed Martin on Aunt Fanny's Pantry (5.4) and set up a TR for Patty. In the meantime Craig and Carolyn climbed Uncle Fanny (5.7) and set up a TR for the rest of us - fun chimney-offwidth-hand crack; heel-toe technique and hip-jamming helped with this one. Not sure about the rating, but it was a lot of fun - did it twice, both variations. Sunday we all climbed Munginella (5.6) - highly enjoyable. Craig led, I cleaned, Patty climbed as a party of three, while Martin and Carolyn swapped leads as a party of two just a pitch or so after us. A little chilly until mid-morning, but sunny and clear through the rest of the day both Sat and Sun. -- Route Climbed: Sunnyside Bench Date Climbed: 7-May-2005 Followed Matthew Holliman on his first multipitch lead. Great fun, fantastic views. A little windy on the second / third pitch, with spray blowing from the falls. Found the descent trail without difficulty. Afterwards, enjoyed toproping 5.7 friction slabs at Swan Slab. Next day hung out with Carolyn and her buds climbing at Church Bowl until it starting raining about mid-day. | |

| First time as a teanager backpacking into the Valley in 1968. Many times since on every trail. My Last trip out of the Valley early May 2008 to backpack to Cloud's Rest. Great time to do this, no crowds, in fact no one! | |

| SpiderSavage | Good Beer Found Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2008 | |
| Successfully obtained really good beer and pizza at Curry Village on this date. Love the Ahwahnee but it was $70 for breakfast for 4, and we didn't even have the buffet. Worth it just for the custom sausages though. | |

| SeanReedy | A family favorite! | |
| I've been many times and hope to return many more. I've been lucky enough to have two cousins get married here with receptions at the Ahwahnee. The trick was squeezing in a long hike the day of the wedding without missing the ceremnony. | |

| jonmeek16 | Best Place Ever | |
| Yosemite Valley is the climbers playground. So many routes and not enough time. Snake Dike 5.7***** on Half Dome is my fav. Long runouts and jugs for days. Will be doing North West Face on Half Dome for my bacholer party with some friends (at least that's the goal) | |

| Arthur Digbee | thanks, glaciers! | |
| Wonderful place, but can be tricky to avoid the crowds--even in the backcountry. | |
