SE Route via 5.7 crack and not a person in sight  Sucess!

In writing this log entry almost 35 years after the event, the things I remember most was camping at Budd Lake experiencing on awesome sunset over the Lake after a 2 hour thunderstorm cleared. The second was leading that awkward 5.7 crack and with one hand jamb tearing open a quarter inch horseshoe shaped cut that bled like crazy. The scar is still very noticeable today. Finally the solitude on the summit for it was just me and my two friends. In fact we didn’t see anyone else on the peak or camped at Budd Lake. From the other recent entries, I guess things have changed a great deal.

Lost count...  Sucess!

I took my friends Mike and Maria up Southeast Buttress on a day climb from the Bay Area. At this point, I lost count of how many times I climbed this route. Probably five or six...

Mellow and not so crowded day

SE Buttress  Sucess!

There was a huge group of us that climbed the mountain very late in the day. I was the very last person to reach the summit, and was able to crest just as the sun was setting. The mountains were shadowed out, but the sky was this fiery red. We rappelled in the dark, and it was a fantastic time.

SE Buttress  Sucess!

Great day trip with Peter Green. Ran out of time for the North face of Eichorn Pinnacle. Guess that means a return trip is in order!

First Trad Route  Sucess!

The day prior an acquaintance from the yarts buss and I soloed the descent route and decided to climb the SE Buttress the next day. It was my first trad route, I had only sport and gym experience prior. It was awesome. soloing the summit block the prior day was fun but scary, and we protected the down climb after climbing the SE Buttress.

SE Buttress (5.6)  Sucess!

Did this fantastic route on day 2 of our first trip out to Tuolumne from Sacramento. The approach was beautiful and quite an easy stroll. The climbing was fun and fairly consistent in difficulty and the views were spectacular. We saw two nice marmots at the base of the climb. The descent was quick and straightforward. A classic all the way.

Solo  Sucess!

This day was supposed to be a hike with Matthew Holliman, but a coyote derailed his plans, and he recked his car. No worries, I summited, and enjpyed the spectacular peak. Can't wait to do this with Bob solo.
