Tuolumne meetup 24.-25. 9. 2011

Even though or maybe because my working week was quite stressful I couldn't resist and left for Yosemite the second weekend in row. This time the Moutaineering meetup camped at Tuolumne meadows. On Saturday I went to Mt. Hoffman (10,845 feet/3,305 m). The weather was quite stormy, which on one hand meant interesting sky for photos, but on the other hand it was getting quite dangerous on the top. On Sunday a lot of people from the meetup went to Clouds rest. It was nice to see the place where I did my first ever backpacking trip!

I kdyz nebo mozna prave proto, ze jsem mela docela stresujici tyden, jsem se vydala druhy vikend po sobe do Yosemite. Tentokrat moutaineering meetup kempoval v Tuolumne meadows. V sobotu jsem vyrazila na Mt. Hoffman (10,845 feet/3,305 m). Pocasi bylo docela bourkove, coz znamenalo pekne mraky na foceni ale nebezpeno na vrcholku. V nedeli hodne lidi z meetup vyrazilo na Clouds rest. Bylo hezke si zase zajit na misto kde zacalo me backpackovani!

Tioga Pass - Meetup 17.-18.9. 2011

Being out most of this summer I didn't spend much time in Sierra Nevada mountains, so it was great opportunity to go again with BAMM (Bay area mountaineering meetup) to the mountains. This time we camped by Saddlebag lake. On Saturday I went with part of the group up to Mt. Conness via East Ridge, it was great hike. I got little bit sick, partially because of elevation, partially because I got big cold, but luckily I was able to summit - 12,649 ft (3,855 m). In the evening we had big campfire where everybody shared their stories. The second day I went for just short hike with Kirsten around 20 lakes basin, we relaxed by one of the lakes and when Phil came back from North peak we drove home.

Jelikoz jsem byla vetsinu leta mimo, nemela jsem moc casu na vylety to hor Sierra Nevada, a tak kdyz se naskytla prilezitost vyrazila jsem opet s BAMM do hor. Tentokrat jsme kempovali u jezera Saddlebag. V sobotu jsem vyrazila s casti skupiny na horu Conness pres East Ridge, coz byl super vyslap. Nebylo me uplne nejlepe, castecne kvuli nadmorske vysce, castecne protoze jsem chytla velkou rymu, ale nastesti se mi podarilo se na vrchol vyskrabat - 12,649 ft (3,855 m). Vecer jsme pak meli velky taborak, kde kazdy povidal o svych vyletech. Druhy den jsem vysla jen s Kirsten na kratky vyslap kolem 20 jezer, zastavily jsme se u jednoho jezera a tam odpocivaly. Kdyz se Phil vratil z North Peak, jeli jsme zpet domu.

Yosemite - Vogelsang Backpacking 3. - 5. 9. 2011

Long weekend is always great for backpacking trip! This time I was invited to join a group for backpacking in Yosemite. Two Rachaels, Josh, Mandar, Joe and I left on Saturday morning for adventure around Vogelsang. One sad element in our trip was search and rescue that was happening. One about 70 year man didn't come back to his car about 3 days ago and everybody was looking for him. They found him dead about 1 hour before we actually passed his campsite on our way to our destination. We wouldn't probably found him anyway, since it looked that he was in his tent, he fell asleep one night and never woke up the second morning.
We did nice loop around many lakes and we were planning to finish early on Monday so we can stop at one swimming hole on our way back, but the weather got colder and we dropped this idea.

Prodlouzeny vikend je vzdy idelni pro straveni casu v divocine. Tentokrat jsem byla pozvana abych se pripojila ke skupine co jela do Yosemite. Dve Rachael, Josh, Mandar, Joe a ja jsem vyrazili v sobotu rano za dobrodruzstvim kolem Vogelsangu. Malou vadou na krase celeho vyletu byla zachranna akce, ktera se zrovna konala. Asi 70ti letty muz se nevratil pred 3 dny ze sveho vyletu a tak jej vsichni hledali. Nasli jej mrtveho asi hodinu pred tim, nez my jsme prosli kolem jeho kempu. My bychom jej stejne asi neobjevili, protoze to vypadalo, ze byl ve svem stanu, pravdepodobne usnul a uz se druhy den nevzbudil.
Obesli jsme si kolecko kolem mnoha jezer a planovali jsme jeste v pondeli se zastavit na jednom miste na koupani, ale protoze se ochladilo, tak jsem nakonec jeli primo domu.
