OH BOY! It's so good to bring you an update from the beautiful Eastside of the Sierra here in California. Josh and I had been in the Valley for a while, doing some more training routes in preparation for our jaunt up The Capitan. I can't spray about the plans, other than to say we're hopefully doing it.
One of the prep routes was Central Pillar of Frenzy on Middle Cathedral. I took a pic of our cross-valley neighbor, and also a neat little video.
Otherwise, we've been hanging out in Tuolomne (Tioga Pass just opened) and reliving some of that magic that those meadows and granite domes has in spades. The last time I was up there, Rob Coppolillo and I were cragging and nursing sore necks from craning our eyes towards Cathedral Peak and Tenaya. This time, Tenaya Lake was under snow, and waterfalls were flowing everywhere. It was an alpine wonderland.
After Tuolomne, we bounced down to the Eastside and had a meal at the world famous Whoa Nellie Deli. This place serves, no joke, some of the most incredible food I've eaten. Certainly, those lobster taquitos take the cake for best meal I've ever had out of a Mobil gas station. Wolfing down the red corn wraps, pineapple salsa, green chile and fresh green salad, all while looking at the sunset over Mono Lake, was about as good as it gets when you're decompressing and hanging out after a few days in Yosemite's madness.
