Day 3 - 10 September 2012
DAFF Dome. Mitch and I had talked about doing this route for a long time. West Crack. Not a huge, difficult route at all, but you have to be careful being on an exposed dome like DAFF with regards to the weather. Clouds forming up in the early AM can be a bad sign. Thankfully, it was nearly cloudless. Once again, it was rather cold in the AM. We got a move-on quicker though because we knew that West Crack is a popular route. The last thing you want is to hike up there and see 3 parties waiting in line while a 4th starts up it.
Stories, thoughts and reflections from my life.
- Hi, my name is Andy.
- I'm a climber, skier, hiker, and biker...among other things. I believe that communing with the outdoors can give us incredible insight into our lives, build friendships that last a lifetime, and open our eyes to the larger world around us. This is my blog. Welcome.

Yosemite Part 2 - Guide Cracks on DAFF Dome
Day 1 - 09 September 2012 - Woke up. It was cold. Really cold compared to where I came from back East. It was probably in the upper 30s or so. I was glad I brought cold-weather gear. However, the temp came up nicely after an hour or so in which Mitch and I ate breakfast and figured out where we would climb. We were off by 0730 to explore.
