Tuolumne Trip 2009
I originally came up with the idea of going to Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park for a week of climbing long trad routes earlier this year during one of my frequent injury breaks from hard climbing.

The area around Bishop, CA is well known for being a great cold weather destination with tons of bouldering to be had at the Buttermilks, The Happys and elsewhere. What is not as well known is that there is at least some summertime bouldering to be had as well with the one area getting most of the attention lately being Way Lake.
