Lower Merced / Valley Conditions.

Wouldn't mind hitting the valley this weekend. Snow conditions are going to suck in Tahoe - is it time to get that springtime training started so that I can send Positive Vibes on the Incredible Hulk in August?

Wondering if anyone has hit Cookie Cliff / Reeds Pinnacle  / Pat and Jack?

Oh yeah, Lower Canyon Crags are going off right now. Go For It!
Woot Woot!

Thanks folks!

How about The Prow, if we rap off?

Anyone know how the camping's looking this weekend?

Alex, i know the skull queen is a great route and the rappel was set up well, ive done the prow but not sure how it would be to rap
Jon, i just heard from pinky (she works at camp 4 kiosk) that camp 4 is only campground open right now??? lots of climbers coming in so should be fun

Sitting in camp 4 about to put the fire out. Conditions at Lower Merced were indeed great. A bit of seepage on outer limits but the cookie was great overall.

Catchy and Catchy corner felt much better this time around.

Thanks, Dan. Think we ran into you at Pat and Jack this past weekend. Hope you're still sending!

Flying in the Mountains at Parkline was great, but bring a brush for the holds and sunscreen, else risk being dirty crispy BBQ. Freeblast is also dry except for the little roofs leading into the half dollar and the half dollar. Fixed lines in place from the top of mammoth as well with two knots to pass. The knot off mammoth should be redone though to an alpine butterfly instead of a overhand bight.

Weather at the park awesome, going climbing tomorrow before the rains come back, Happy climbing Mike A.

Fixed lines with knots are inappropriate in Yosemite (this is Mecca yo!). Please remove and replace them, it's a very small service and takes just a few minutes.

Woot!
