Night one at Bernice via Evelyn Ridge / Lake and Hanging Basket Pass
(well... what I call it) Zippie da doo da over to Bernice via Gallison...
thought of someone here... hmm... who could that be... hmm...
(been awhile since touch Gallison... it has fish in it... so it still has a whole lotta blue stuffs)
Day 2 up to Mt. Florence environs entire xcountry and then after battling the ridiculous winds
decide to change route and headed to find a bench marker and then to Babcock
with idea to climb the dome Sunday morning.
Started snowing about 6:30 pm... quit about 10:30 pm.
Barely got below freezing both nights.
Forecast Fri morn was 45% chance ... which equates to 100% this time of year... so knew was prob.
gonna get smacked. Luckily the wind was nil on Sunday...
Did I mention I absolutely hate high winds?
Anywho. Axe more if you like. Or if didn't answer u.
Have fun

Drag-on Boy:
Florence with Babcock Dome on the left:
Since I nose how much you want to get up Florence.. ok, nevermind.. I would
have gone all the way up if you could have actually seen the top from the saddle above
WL10541 (pix above) ... that was as far as I went when got smart and zipped back down.
I know really good way up now though... so we'll go that-a-way next time.
(route this time was xcountry from Bernice to top of Florence Falls and then zip over
to ridgeline to the SW) (a nice route.. but WL10541 looked nicer and quicker)
Anywho... Tanks fo Sharon ur pix Albutt OVD

Soaking wet and cold will put a hurt into you. So no... Did not get wet at all really.
I bring rain jacket and rain pants almost always...
(as I likes to sayz... "dis ain't my first dog and pony show" )
Seriously... I've seen hypothermia first hand... and I will not let myself go there.

Hegel,
The Mountain Laurel Designs SoloMid which is what I've been using
for a bit does incredible in the wind. Dunno if posted this pix b4...
but here it is out in da winter:
The previous night it got ridiculously windy... so much so I thought
that Bearpoof ... who was next to me in his tent was gonna get
blown off the mountain (he had to run into the woods at one pt.
and get some branches to help hold down his tent fly).
Anywho... it's a great little tarp thing-a-ding.
Regards,
(and peeps wouldn't be upset if u posted Alps pix)
(does everyone just facebook or have their own blog or wha nowadayz?)
(if u haven't seen ... a few more of that trip are here:

So you write books?
Seriously though... not nuff peeps look at guidebooks and whatnot...
Although I'd say the guidebooks are quite lacking in many instances
and a good ol' fashioned map trumps it.
Plus most of what I doooz nowadayz isn't in any guidebook.
Have fun and stay nice and toasty warm and dry

Well obviously...
This isn't officially a backpacking site, but it's a site for all things Yosemite, including backpacking in Yosemite. And it's also a place to discuss all things going on in the Sierra Nevada too, including backpacking or hiking anywhere around the Sierra Nevada.
But you knew that, so I'm not sure why I'm restating it. (Probably for the benefit of others...)
Don't overthink and overanalyze things, especially things like where one should post or not. Do whatever makes you happy.

Just beautiful

I'm ready.
Took Z Wifie to Eagle Towa last weekend. Gotta say... w/o the water it was
very anti-climatic... especially after 95% off trail with view for most of Z way to get there.
(bzw - z best way up and down is climb high) (i.e. going thru Eagle Peak Mdws blows)
Have fun
