Tahoe scrambling
Went with a group of friends. Roped up for the 5.7 pinnacle. Fun times. Bailed down a little after the pinnacle to go swim in Lower Velma Lake.

Eagle Buttress Traverse
With Patrick. Climbed the 4th class route to the ridge and traversed the ridge. I led the 5.8 pillar on the way. Soloed the rest.
Went out to Meeks Bay.

ELB Ridge Traverse
This was a great ridge traverse with some fun and exposed sections. With a team of seven were able to complete 3/4 of the one mile traverse before reaching our turn around time.

scramble
Took alpine climbing class with SMG. Sunny & windy.
Great climbing area with excellent rock. Long approach but will definitely have the place to yourself if you go.

5.5 "Eagle" route
Lead two and a half pitches to the summit, followed by Samantha and Ryan. Awesome crack climbing on beautiful Tuolumne-like rough granite. Great Views of Lake Tahoe and snow-laced Desolation Wilderness peaks.

Solo, pretty day. Nice and cool. The mountain to myself.

5.5 route
A challenge for a first crack-dominated climb period (let alone /leading/ your first crack climb). Did the whole thing in 2 pitches. The summit ridge is fun! No one else around on a Saturday... lovely views.

I was nursing a hangover, but it didn't matter. The beautiful fall weather, superb setting and good friends made the climb a wonderful experience (again).
