Hey Duncan,

Tuolumne is awesome.

A friend is in Camp 4 or might be up on a wall. Tim from the Blueys. I also know his climbing partner there, Sharpie. Both good fun to climb with if you find them.

Hey Owain, I went out and did West Crack on Daff (Duff?) Dome yesterday. ~200m of perfect 5.9 slab and crack - amazing! You're right, Tuolumne is absolutely stunning. I need to come back to the valley set up for tradding. Slabbing and jamming in my tight, down-turned bouldering shoes was absolute agony. The sheer scale of this place blows my mind. Perfect Californian weather predicted for the next week or so too. Yay!

This... is... a... turning point....
Do you realise you used "perfect" "slab" "crack" in the same sentence, with no negatives? you also stated "i need to come back"
Who would've thunk it!

It's alright Steve, I have a Mondo now. Bouldering a-go-go!

Tinman, if you make it back, let me know. I'll be here until the 30th/the weather craps out.
