Re: Very Sharp!

Some pictures out of many come out OK. These are the ones that I try to post here. I only take a simple point-and-shoot thingy on my hikes. I am thinking of getting a better camera but I am still not sure which one to choose. What would you recommend?

Nice shot

Conness' West Ridge is one of my goals this year Vlad - have you climbed it yet ?

Re: Nice shot

Thanks, Rob.
I see your goals haven't changed. That's the spirit!
West Ridge looks intimidating. Many rate it as one of the best alpine climbs in the Sierra. I'm probably not ready to lead trad at that level yet, but I am always ready to follow :)

Re: Nice shot

I'm thinking August or September. I think a good bit of it could be soloed by mortals such as ourselves. We should hit Tuolumne sometime as a warmup.

6 more days in the cast. I'm so stoked !
