This is a picture I took while roaming around on the trails in Big Elk Meadows. It really is beautiful there. If I only had money.(Sigh) Photo by Jared Waterworth

Follow CR #47 for about 2.2 miles and park in a small turnout on the right side of the road. Just across the road are two descent sized boulders. Good for warming up. There are easy and really hard problems. This is my attempt at being artistic. Photo by Jared Waterworth

This is the left side of the Sanctuary in Big Elk Meadows. Just above our crash pads is Sinister Minister(V3). Also if you look close you can see an Ewok, just kidding it's a pack. Photo by Jared Waterworth

Fun problem at B.E.M. that took me maybe 5-7 goes. The people I was with said it was graded soft-like it should be a 4. I dunno, it is a very fun problem.

I found this to be a bit tricky. There are a couple of "bump" holds on your way to the good stuff at the top, but I was just too wiped out to get there. I used a heel hook that seemed to work very well for some stability.
