Yosemite Climbing partner May 6th-7th
|
I was looking to climb Yosemite May 6-7th weekend, and prob run some trails. It's been difficult to find any campsite for that weekend--but I presume there's the ability to just sleep on a rock somewhere overnight? Anyone try this yet? I have a 60m rope, and looking to see if anyone wants to carpool from the bay area too. Thanks, Tori |

Your best bet is to bivy outside the park if you can't get a site. Be sure to check regularly on recreation.gov - you might get lucky with a cancellation |

What happened to the Shasta climb? El portal pullouts -https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/112833091/el-portal140-bivy |

I'm thinking Yosemite if Shasta is not in good conditions. Shasta is still there though. ha |
|
Oh, ok--I'm in for Casaval Ridge if it all looks good then. Thanks! |
|
Busted! HAHAHA Well I hope you (both) make a go for the ridge, I bet the conditions are awesome, I spent a week up there last year thinking it was a heavy snow season, guess I should have waited, I could be convinced to use a long weekend to make a go for the ridge if plans fall through edit: Tori the ridges are in better shape early in the season compared to the gulch that is battered with avalanches (hence the name) when there is heavy snow making it better suited for late season climbs, the bum rush up the gulch usually starts memorial day weekend |

Like C Brooks said, best is to sleep outside the park on Friday night. From Oakland, that's on 120 now that it has reopened. You can camp for free there on US Forest Service land - the popular side roads on 120 just outside the park are Hardin Flat Road and Evergreen Road. P.S. I remember your name from when you ran for Gunn HS! (My daughter Renata ran for Paly). Cool to see you are into climbing now! |

Few sites opened up just now in the park on recreation.gov |
|
Cool, Thanks guys! Hey Clint--Tell Renata I said "Hi"! Yeah, been getting more into climbing recently (Still running though). |

I checked and still have photos I took from one of the Gunn vs. Paly races at Crystal Springs in 2004, so if you want any copies, just let me know. Maybe we'll run into each other climbing in the Valley, once the weather gets more friendly? It's a small world in climbing. |
