Big Stone

Grand views from the Spire's summit

 

 

 

It's hard to stop taking photos of El Cap.  Someone remarked yesterday that it's not really possible to convey the scale, the way you have to tilt your head up to take it all in, but I feel compelled to keep trying. 

Yesterday I climbed the Higher Cathedral Spire with a wild Australian.  While the route was relatively moderate we managed to find a stout variation and struggled with proper passing etiquette.  It's been a while since I've been somewhere so popular.  Despite some awkwardness we enjoyed a new summit and soaked in the views.
