Re: Incident on Donohue Pass
"This expedition is changing me deeply. I'm finding patience, something I've struggled with all of my life. Meeting a wall of water, too strong to pass, is quietly calming and resonates deeply with a deep sense of direction which says, "Stop. Know that everything is all right, you are right where you need to be." To slowly absorb The Yosemite, is to feel a deep connection with whatever created this magical place - and which created us..."
Now that's the Spirit!!
Nice to see someone on the right track. This guy shows respect, humility, and a deepening connection to the world. What a joy to read.

Re: Incident on Donohue Pass
I'm sure glad John Muir isn't around to see the names he'd be called on here. Dude rushed out during a "Glorious earthquake!" to ride an avalanche of talus blocks! Dude shinnied up a pine tree during a windstorm! Dude crawled out on Fern Ledge behind Upper Yosemite Falls at the height of spring runoff!Bmac wrote:Total idiot... So stupid of him to slip...
