Trying to make the best of his last few weeks of summer vacation, Tim bought a last minute flight out to Sacramento to see what all the hype is about climbing and dirtbagging out here. I like to think he wasn't disappointed and will be quitting his job in no time. Day 1 was focused on Russian River and trying every beer they had available.
He also got to experience one of those decent Tahoe sunsets.
Sara joined us for a couple days around Donner. We got on some really hard stuff. Tim and I were not performing at our best, but we got to watch Sara send several of her crazy hard projects.

After Sara left, Tim and I checked out Big Chief near Lake Tahoe. We had the entire mountain to ourselves and we enjoyed every minute by climbing easy and moderate climbs all day.
For Tim's last night, Kyle Bishop met us in Donner and we convinced Tim to solo the slab with us. We celebrated at the top with tasty beers and an awesome view of the Milky Way and Donner Lake. Again, I like to believe it was a fulfilling and successful 5 days for Tim and I expect him to be living out of his car within a few months.
