Dodging thunderstorms to climb a Yosemite alpine classic | Tuolumne backpacking
Переглядів 23 тис.День тому
It’s our first backpacking trip of the season and we wanted to start out the year with a bang! So we went backpacking in Yosemite National Park and camped at Upper Cathedral Lakes in hopes to climb a few Yosemite classics! With Eichorn Pinnacle and Cathedral Peak towering over our campsite, we were more than stoked to climb and be out in the mountains... But the mountains had other plans for us...

6 months later, after bailing on a climb that we thought was too hard for us, we're back in Utah for revenge on Castleton Tower! Our eyes were set on Kor-Ingalls, a desert tower classic and one of the first desert towers to be established back in 1961. The climbing was… TOUGH, to say the least, but we gave it our best shot! After gaining a bit more confidence, we decided to keep the ball rollin...

    If you slip, learn to twist around& set your ice axe. You have to PRACTICE this, many times, BEFORE you put yourself into that sitch. Another thing. Me & the Wolf were in the Evolution range one August, wise enough NOT to posthole through snow in PM, instead camping . early morning you can chip your steps in snow that will sink you to your hips in PM. We have noted people rushing down, and in AM found their suffering postholes, easily glissading or supported where they had led the Gulag life. (Though i traversed someglacier elsewhere above six foot or more drops into cold tarns which give NO chance to get out - think floating corpsicle - i DO recommend suitable spikes & learning all the cute lil ice axy things.)

    Better than any strap clip check out the Alaska guide creations bino case for carrying cameras. I use a Sony A7IV with a 24-105 and it fits even with the lens hood on. They protect your camera from abrasion and impacts and its a chest harness so the camera is right in front of you when you need quick access. It has additional storage in it and I keep my bug net, packing gauze, lip balm, knives, fishing gear if I am bringing it. You can even get additional attachments from the company for carrying bear spray.

    Re the boots / trail runners thing, it’s light weight shoes for me all the way if there’s any sort of a trail, unless there are proper reasons why boots might be better, when I do sometimes switch. In trail runners I get less fatigued, have more accurate foot placement, and I am much less likely to trip or stumble. My legs and knees definitely finish the day in very much better shape All of these things contribute to overall safety in my experience. Over the decades I have sustained occasional injuries wearing both boots and trail runners, stuff will always happen, but I am sure that the lighter and more positive footwear has massively improved both my enjoyment and the general efficiency of my hiking. Thanks for the videos Darwin, I’m pushing 70 years old now and the amazing lightweight gear of today really helps to level the playing field and keep me out there 👋

    DAFF; Dome Across From Fairview (Dome). What a cool name. The "Regular Route" on Fairview Dome (at 7:00) is an awesome climb. IMHO, to have fun at Tuolumne you need to be able to lead at least 5.9 Trad. Once you can do that, it really opens up for you. Of course be able to lead 5.10 or higher is even better.
