Yosemite, August 24-26, 2001 (East Buttress of Middle Cathedral)

There were fires near the Valley this weekend, so the air was very smoky. Brian and I climbed the East Buttress of Middle Cathedral, and spent the next day at the Sunnyside Bench and swimming in the Merced.


Brian in front of El Cap...you can see how smoky it was.
