Hum, droughts make waterfalls less... existent.
Monday this past week, Bill, Julie, Jackie and I all took a little trip (and a little time off work over the gals' spring break) to Foster Falls for some climbing and hiking. It was a great trip with no injuries (unless you count making an already sore ankle on Julie worse). But that's another story for another time. The climb was great, with all four of us successfully mounting the final rout (time limited how much we could do). We thought about continuing on the multipitch we started, but after judging the time, we figured there wasn't enough daylight and descended. I was able to repel, but am reminded of why I need a figure eight to do that, and not just a simple ATC. That thing was almost smoking when I got down. All in all, an amazing day at an amazing park.
Yeah, we went to Yosemite this summer to see all the waterfalls and that gorgeous mirror lake in which you can see Half Dome reflected. Yeah...syke! There was practically no water in the entire park (or the entire state of California, for that matter). The falls were mists at best; the lake was a muddy pond. Yay for droughts. ~aimee ci.
