Dan looked out across the lake and said,
"I'm going to climb to the top of that dome on the right, then cross over and climb
that jagged peak on the left. The others thought it was a great idea, so the four Smith
brothers set out on their quest. Their plan was to follow the trees up to the notch. |
 |
They followed this tree line up the slope, but got
disoriented near the top and climbed the smaller, center dome just to the right of the
jagged peak. |

Looking down at Catherdral Lake from on top
with Dan and Dave. Tuolumne Meadows is just beyond the small dome in the upper right hand
corner of the picture. |

Same view with Ray and Rich--but is it just me, or do
they look like they want to kill the cameraman? |
 |
Rich and Dave found another peak to climb that gave them a
view straight down Tanaya Canyon all the way to Half Dome. Dave gives a triumphant thumbs
up. |

Rich stops about half way down the descent for a shot of
Cathedral Lake. |
