wherever... looking at your maps... from where you placed #10 looks like you went the same way.
although maybe you came from the north entirely...???
not a bad route looks like from Indian rock down to the arch... then down to the meadow below
then east for nice views...
Hopefully someone is interested in this crap.

Will do.Quote
wherever
You did get the Basket Dome route correct on the second try. I should have mentioned to stay high. But I have only done this route going in the other direction, as part of one way jaunts from Tioga Pass Highway to North Dome, then to Basket Dome and down to the Valley via the Snow Creek Trail.
I've scouted that lower route that you tried first, but the brush there is ferocious. I won't try it again unless it burns over.
Please keep us posted on your trips.

Really wanted to go up the first gully which spied from Quarter Domes... figured the bush would be delicious... but
gave it a go anyway. when the gully is free of snow next year may give it another try but stay higher and try to
work around the lower shrub ... really hesitant to come down that gully with a pack on... checked it out from above... looks yummy.
Here it is from Quarter Domes a week earlier. Unfortunately the storm pretty much zapped the color from the
gully directly east of Basket... at least I couldn't spy any really nice color in the gully from all the pts I went to...

Oh no! Sorry to hear about losing your camera. Which one was it?
(For me what's worse than losing the camera itself (usually replaceable) is losing all the photos still contained inside of it and not downloaded (or in the case of a film camera, developed).
Maybe someone (perhaps you) will locate it on a future trip down the gully.

I think it was the smell of Twinkie from the west that distracted you, resulting in the camera snafu... sorry about that :-)
