Trip Report:
California has nicer weather than Kentucky, however their gas is more expensive there. The park was nice, but tourist outnumbered bears, which is not the way a park should be. They even have a barber and a salon. Sean almost plummeted to his death. I don't much like him right now, but that still would have been a shame. Mostly because he owes me 70 dollars, but also because rocks are hard to clean blood off of. I climbed the South Face, NutCracker, and the East Buttress. I must have got at least 100 pitches and 6000 feet in. I met a few Kiwis, one with a Scottish accent. The French do not eat processes cheese products. Will lost his wallet and was presumed a white, skinny, ugly terrorist. With a ball cap.
Opinions:
This will be the best summer yet. For all sorts of different reasons.
The mountains make you realize things.
Regrets:
Sorry Ian. I would have loved to talk.
Nothing else.
Plans:
I'd like to have a drink with some people. Maybe dinner on the town. Anyone interested?
