Tuolumne photo trip report

Last week Steph and I were in Tuolumne Meadows for 8 days.  It was the trip of a lifetime.  A huge group of our friends from Stoney Point was there and the climbing was amazing.  Matt and I also filmed my buddy Andrew Rock onsighting the Bachar-Yerian, a world class route.  I'm currently working on cutting that footage together into a sweet short film, which I'll obviously post here when done.

Right before I left for the trip I got a new camera, Canon T2i, it's awesome!  This was my first real experience shooting pictures and video with a DSLR so I definitely have a lot of learning to do but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of pictures Steph and I were taking.
