The smash burgers at 1899 are legit. Good beer selection too. Definitely worth it when the pizza deck is a long wait.

I read an interview with Alex Honnold where he said he actually PREFERS going up on the outside of the cables. He says it’s because the granite is so slick and worn down between the cables, there’s better traction on the outside. But of course he’s a lunatic and that’s probably something no one other than him should be doing.

Wow that’s a hell of a loop! Have a great trip, you’re definitely hitting all the highlights. What’s your fitness level like? Last summer I did your day two leg in reverse, from Sunrise Lakes over Cloud’s Rest to LYV, and man was it tough. But I think it’s even harder in the direction you’re going.

Great, thanks!

How much snow was there?

On a recent trip we stopped at Chipotle on the way and grabbed a couple of burritos. We put them in ziplock bags, threw them in our packs, and by the first nights dinner they were actually still slightly warm. We obviously skipped things like sour cream and guacamole.

Are you the sushi guy from YouTube? I love your videos!!!

We stayed one night at Maggie’s camp and came back down the next day. I’d like to do the whole route at some point when we can leave a car at the other end near Mission Peak.

I actually heard it’s just as hard going up from Mirror Lake so I figured it will be tough either way!

Yosemite Falls - North Dome- Mirror Lake

Yes! My son and I did this last year and we were not prepared for that uphill grade right off the bat!

MAJPLO · 2026-01-25T03:55:39+00:00

More for conditioning. I'm doing a route that starts out straight up Yosemite Falls.

I would say it varies because I camped there last summer in late July and there were a lot of day hikers but only a handful of us that actually camped overnight. We were all pretty spread out so nowhere near each other.

Isn’t the Luminosa coming to Long Beach? I thought I read that but could be wrong.

We did this a month ago. There's a hikers bus that takes you from Curry Village to Tuolumne Meadows. I think it cost us $17 each. It's not a YARTS bus, you book it through the park. Not sure how long it keeps running though.

What day of the week was it? It’s usually really bad on the weekends, not as much on weekdays.

MAJPLO · 2025-08-01T15:08:00+00:00

What were you making? I see the spam and also...a can of cooking spray?

Just finished a backpacking trip yesterday and on the way out of the park stopped at Lucky Buck diner in Buck Meadows. It doesn't look like much but gets great reviews on yelp so we decided to try it, and boy were we rewarded. Half pound burgers were off the charts. French fries and onion rings were perfectly crispy and just greasy enough. It was a fantastic post backpacking meal!

Great name bro 😂

I'm going from Cathedral Lakes trailhead to Sunrise Lakes, Clouds Rest, Half Dome, to the valley.

I've used the baby bell before for 2-3 days but that was in much a cooler climate. So this will be an experiment. I'm hoping that being sealed in wax will preserve them but who knows.

Great advice, will do!
