This could be my tick list for the coming summer!
A little different than my friend Hugo, I have not done these
routes, well at least not completely. These pictures are here
to help me get all excited about the upcoming summer. This
should also help me get out to California where these climbs
are located.

The Classic climb of Toulumne Meadows, Cathedral
Peak above center may be something to do every summer, the
experience is amazing. |

Above: Fairview Dome
Right: Daff Dome in Toulumne Meadows high above Yosemite
Valley. Daff Domes West Crack at 5.8 with one 5.9 move is
on the left and the prominent dihedral is called Crescent
Arch 5.9 is on the list for this summer and will have to
do the West Crack for a warm up.
Daff Dome is the "dome across from Fairview".

Left: Eichorn Pinnacle has a route up the north
east face known as the Mountaineers Route and at 5.3 is another
one on the list. |
Right: Lower, Middle, & Higher Cathedral
Rock and the hard to see Cathedral Spires. The North East
Buttress of Middle Cathedral Rock is high on the list and
at 5.9 A1 or 5.10c should provide a great challenge. |

 |
Left: Half Dome viewed from Glacier Point. The
goal for this summer would be to climb Snake Dike 5.7 which
climbs a large dike that winds it's way up the west face.
At some other time it would be great to climb the North East
Face which is quite a bit harder, and then some. |
Right: El Capitan and what a crag at that!
As many may say, "Some Day!"
How about the East Buttress 5.10b,
and only one move at that grade.

So many climbs to come! Check back soon.
