Yo… lots of climbers still on the Stone. However there looks to be a low probability that it could rain in the next couple of days. So the cautious are holding back a bit while the driven are headed up. The SE Face is still empty from Mescalito, east. Polish hero, Marek Raganowicz, fresh from a epic ascent of the Polar Sun Spire, Baffin Island, is here to solo Native Son, starting in 2 days. Old timer Mark Hudon, just down from Lost in America, is also going on Native Son, but with recently famous, Cheyne Lempe. The whole face is empty and both teams are going on the same route!! Such is Yosemite climbing!
