A Day in the Climb - Snake Dike

Garrett Foster Green February 22, 2018

“A Day in the Climb” is a smattering of photos made to convey the trials, tribulations, and ecstasies of a day spent on, or in hopes of getting on, a beautiful line established vertically in rock.


This "A Day in the Climb" comes from a trip to Yosemite back in June 2016 with Betsy Pfeiffer, Tyson Howes, and Garrett Woolley.  All the photos were shot on 35mm, black & white film with an old Minolta SLR.

"Snake Dike" is a long, sparsely protected route on the south west shoulder of Half Dome. The route follows a vein like feature that reaches to the summit of the famed heap of granite.

Check out the Mountain Project page for "Snake Dike".
