I love hanging out in the Sierra. Unlike BC, or the Cascades, the weather is usually bomber, for the most part there are no mosquitoes, there is no bushwacking, backcountry and car camping are as easy as it gets, and the mountains are granite. Life is easy.
For the past week Al Jones and I climbed some classic routes in the High Sierra and Tuolumne. Nothing to hard, or long – we just had fun.
The standard route on Fairview is pretty classic.
The classic Cathedral Peak. Easy and fun.
We were psyched to be in the Whitney zone for the first time. We climbed the East Buttress of Whitney and planned to get up Mt. Russell, but we left due to T-storms. I got pretty inspired by the Keeler Needle and the Mitheral Dihedral on Russell. Next time.
