I invited a few friends from Berkeley over for Thanksgiving weekend. A few more crashed last second, and we had a party! Large photo sets can be found here and here.
The weekend started with a bouldering sesh with James and Phil. Actually, James took many (most?) of these photos as he is an aspiring photographer.
Weds PM saw the arrival of several people, and we all decided to go on a morning hike before the feast preparations to the Ribbon Falls amphitheater. There is no trail up there, just a bushwack up to this large cylindrically shaped hole in the side of the cliff, carved by Ribbon Falls. You can lay on your back and look up at the hole in the rock:
There are great views of Middle Cathedral and Bridelveil Falls:
Kurt, of course, took some panoramic photos:
People scrambled around:
Then we hiked down, and found a fun boulder to climb:
Then we went home for Thanksgiving DINNER!
The table was set:
Pots were stirred and the turkey guarded:
People started drinking:
I think this is hot chocolate:
Some people were very puzzled:
Finally we ATE:
The next day we went climbing again, and enjoyed the fall weather:
Happy Holidays!!
