With Jul', we tried to climb Royal Arches which is suppose to be a nice and easy climb. It was nice and easy indeed, until we got lost and ended up climbing an offwidth..... -_-' Ah well :}
After all these climbs,
the cams start to leave some marks...
Soon after this, my dear Jul' went back to Belgium and this is Colm and Stephen, two irish friends, who came to Yosemite. We'll do some cragging at
Cookie Cliff together !

After this, we had a few rainy days in Yosemite. So, we went partying at Facelift ! ;)
 |
| Concert in the Valley for the Facelift event |
And the day after the gig, we went for
East Buttress of El Cap with Colm !
 |
| Colm, casual at the belay... |
East Buttress went very well so we decided to do the Rostrum the day after ! ... But it didn't go so well... :/ We got stuck behind other parties, my #4 cam got stuck in the first pitch and we had no other big gear (which you apparently need for the top pitches)... So, we decided to bail after the 4th pitch...

| Colm crushes the crux pitch ! |
On the way back, we enjoyed the view on the Valley...!
 |
| Look for the HEART on El Cap ! |
That's how you confort yourself when something goes wrong, right ? :}

| Ben&Jerry ice cream ! |
