Sam and I spent our last week cragging. We lusted after the bigger walls and longer climbs, but realized Sam's shoulder wasn't quite up to it. Anyway, now we have a hit list for the next Yosemite trip.
We got on some fabulous cracks at the base of El Cap and interesting mixed lines on Lower Cathedral.

Because Sam was injured, I was supposed to lead anything we got on that was harder than 5.8. This gave me a chance to send some awesome 5.10s. (It also gave me more aid practice, opportunity to whine, and Sam the chance to lead anything I got too tired or scared to finish.)
I think I managed to pass my Crack Climbing Crash Course. I will be waiting for my certificate to come in the mail.
Today is the day I leave California. I am grateful for my time here. Thank you beautiful Yosemite; thank you for inviting me Sam.
