Our goal, seen from the distance. This is taken from the classic pullout on the road into Yosemite, which one of my climbing partners affectionately dubs 'Bitchin' View".
Sunrise from low on the route. My partner Mike took this as a couple of pics and merged them together.
Mike digging in on a steep off-width crack. Mike is the perfect partner because he actually likes wide stuff. Yikes!
Me leading the Robbins Traverse at the end of my first block of leads. I was sure glad to hand over the sharp end after seven pitches in a row.
Mike leading high on the route. Half Dome was Mike's first wall and he got up the learning curve FAST!.
A dry Nevada Falls on the descent. We didn't have much water for the trip down and the falls taunted us! I love the rainbow effect in this pic.
