Yosemite Honeymoon!!!!!

Announcing Mr. and Mrs. Drew (& Casey) Sloss!!

I had a really fortunate opportunity to meet up with two of my favorite Nashvillians last week and during a very special two weeks for them. Drew and Casey (a.k.a. KCdrew) passed through Yosemite Valley on their honeymoon and while I didn’t return home for the actual nuptials, they did allow me to visit during the honeymoon. We did it up in true Nashville style.

I was able to beat them to the campsite and spend a few hours setting up the Yosemite Honeymoon Suite. The celebration was complete with firewood, King Cobra, slackline, banners, stir fry and an 8’x10’ tarp to shelter us from the spring rain. The Valley provided the rest.

We weren’t able to climb due to the rain but we thoroughly enjoyed each others company and the Valley in its full-on spring flow. And besides, everyone should have Curry Village pizza on their honeymoon and then sleep in rental van. It's a real must do.

Congratulations Drew and Casey!!!!!

q. Which is more dangerous, slackline'ing or getting married ……. or both?
a. Ask Drew


After Drew and Casey’s send off I did manage to get in a couple of days of climbing. Surprisingly, it cleared up after they left. (Is it supposed rain during your honeymoon?) The clearing weather gave me a chance to get on the South Face of Washington Column and to spend my first night a big wall. The weather was perfect and the huge dinner ledge made for a great bivy. Nighttime in the Valley is best viewed from above.

Great week in the Valley!
