Tuolomne Meadows, Yosemite, California


This past weekend I had the great fortune of bouldering in Tuolomne Meadows. It's been about eight years or so since I've been there and was looking forward to being there again. It was a short two-day trip with Ngoc and Dave Sotelo, but we were psyched with the a surprise visit from Adrian Ballinger. We don't get to hang out much since he's out of the country guiding most of the time, so it was awesome to chill, hang out in the sun, and climb rocks. Not surprisingly, my favorite place was "The Gunks', which had three really great lines that all finished with the same top-out. Cellulite Eliminator (v7) is an exceptional line... probably in my top five list of boulder problems (in the US, at least). We've got some footage of the trip, so we'll see how it edits.
