In January, 2015, American rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson captivated the world with their effort to climb The Dawn Wall, a seemingly impossible 3,000 foot rock face in Yosemite National Park, California.

Two more dates for working bees. 9 am start both days. Basic formation of the track is almost complete as far as the first lookout, apart from the entry point and the crossing of the small creek.

Our chipper/mulcher is working hard, using the vegetation that was cleared in early June. It is being deposited on the track surface.
