An extremely difficult climb up Yosemite's second highest mountain: Mt Dana (13,061). Although the climb was just 3.5 miles, it was so steep and the lack of oxygen caused me to climb at a snail's pace, especially at above 11,000. But the scenery and vistas were staggering, and I can't wait to climb Mt. Dana again. Also nice that I made a friend at the top!
