Corbin Usinger high on matthes crest late this summer. Note the shadows of the thunderclouds. What an epic day.

this is me hanging on the summit, early sept. 06

This pitch was this cool thin ridge flake with knobs covering it's surface, tons of cool exposure, and fun easy, run out traversing.

Just plain fun and easy climbing along the crest. This is scott taking a second to balance the ridge as we simul climb.

Matthes Crest- This is an amazing, beautiful, fun climb. If you're in Tuolumne, make sure to do it. South to north's the way to go.

Nice scenery
