Yosemite National Park, California

One of the most beautiful places on earth...both the valley, and the high country of the Sierra crest. I've been fortunate to be able to play there often.

Almost There!

Nearing the top of the Dana Couloir, on Mt. Dana, in Yosemite National Park. The couloir is about 1000 feet of 40-50 degree snow and ice, in a narrow cleft in the face of the mountain. Climbing it sometimes requires ropes and ice screws, but we enjoyed good hard neve snow, and climbed with just ice axes and crampons.
