Yosemite Climbing Pictures

On the trip to Yosemite, we had mixed luck with the picture taking. We got some great shots the second day in Tuoloumne, but (ack!) got no shots of this great 10a slab. We also had a bit of a film accident on an early pitch of the Galactic Hitchhiker, so the photos got sparse. You'll just have to go climb it for yourself - it's beeeautiful.

There are also two topos of the Galactic Hitchhiker available:

Now, on to the pictures:
