WhooHoo!
By the grace of God we scored two nights of reservations at Tuolumne. yo soy muy happyo. Funny: it's inside the park, but it's still 55 miles and 2 hours driving to get to the valley floor. But that's cool-- it'll be a super pretty drive, and Tuolumne is world class climbing by itself. Yesterday i looked up reservations in the park and got a digital laughing-at. You can reserve 5 mos. ahead of time, and you pretty much have to reserve on the day they open registration to hope for something inside the park. They've got walk-in camping, but Tuolumne usually fills up by 8:30 am; camp 4's usually full by 9am. i was expecting to have to camp way outta the park and drive in. This is mucho mejor. Goin' climb me some knobs. i've dreamed about Tuolumne rock since i watched Ron Kauk floating it back in the '90s. Now if i can just find something easy enough to get my voluminous butt up.

Man I wish I was there. I would even willingly be your belay bitch if it meant getting out of this heat and up in the hills for a bit. I need me some mountain air in a bad way.
i dig. i wish you were here too, man. i went to a climbgym here for a workout yesterday, and it was bad. i got it handed to me on v3. i've gotta be a solid 5 lbs. heavier than when we started this trip. Hopefully that blew the carbon outta m' forearms. If i can't get 5.9 on yosemite granite, i'll be bummed.
