"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Warm Sept DayFrom Sunrise with Half Dome the next day. The views are as good as reported. I quite enjoyed walking along the ridge.

Sunrise TrailClouds scudding across the sky let the peak live up to its name. Hands down best views of Yosemite.

Slick summit snowSnowshoed up, but had to turn back when we weren't able to get any purchase with the snowshoes on the final stretch.

Great viewsDid the hike from Tanaya Lake - not as tough as I had expected. Once you get past the first ridge it is actually fairly easy.

Dayhike from Happy IslesNo snow on trail before 8800 ft. Spent 45 minutes at the summit taking in the astonishing view of the Valley and a frozen and snow covered Tenaya Lake

Family hikeStart of the hiking season for me. From Tenaya lake with son Stephen, brother Jon, nephew Rand. Fabulous view. 14-year-old son said, "Why did we have to work so hard? We could have just looked at this in Google Earth". This after I had to stop him and his cousin from throwing rocks over the side...
