Flashback to summer of 2010 when Adam was working in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite and I made the trip out to visit and do some climbing. Nothing like pristine alpine granite boulders and big mountain routes in the high Sierra! Related Images:
The Dunce and the Matador
Some of my best climbing experiences have been on the limestone walls of El Potrero Chico in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. I have been there six times and each time was a memorable experience. This is about one trip in particular that took place in January of 1999. I wrote about it in my journal at…
