As part of our West Coast adventure, my boyfriend and I paid a visit to Yosemite National Park. In addition to being avid bikers, we are avid rock climbers. Yosemite is well-known for its boulders as well as El Capitan. We didn’t need too much cycle gear to get us to the park, so we had plenty of room for our climbing shoes and ropes.
We camped out at Camp 4 which became known post-World War II as a rock climber hang-out. The first two days we spent bouldering, including scrambling on the Columbia Boulder. Later on my boyfriend climbed The Nose, one of the original climbing routes of El Capitan. I chose to hang back as my ankle was hurting, but I got some fantastic photos from the ground.
