| FLOYD ROCK CLIMBING WITH A FRIEND ON HALF DOME On September 12, 2004, I climbed SNAKE DIKE III 5.7, a long and moderate climb in Yosemite Valley, CA, with Mark Spencer. I first climbed this route 22 years earlier with Mark Spencer, Bill Baker and Earl Tresenriter, when it was my first climb ever. On these occasion we simulclimbed nearly the entire route, with Mark leading and me following. For more details on these climbs, click here. |
