Kim and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary this weekend with a lovely weekend in Yosemite. Saturday morning we got up early, and drove there in time to get in a climb.



Kim is a super strong climber, but is still pretty new to traditional lead climbing. On Saturday she did her first long multipitch where she led everything, and she did an awesome, awesome job. I was very proud of her.


We stayed in Camp Curry, which was interesting, then rose and had an awesome brunch at the famous Awahnee hotel. After that we played tourist in the Valley, then went hiking in the snow. Kim wanted to see Redwoods, so that's what we did. It was a nice hike and a good time.

I've changed the "Recent Additions" page to this new blog format. This was intended to do several things:

1. Make is easier to make changes, especially to add small notes. This site has mostly focused on photos/big trips/etc. Adding or changing pages was too much work to update "just a fun day" or other news from Kim and I. The blog makes updates as easy as sending an email, so expect more.
   
2. You can get an email anytime we make a change to the site, simply submit your email here.
   
3. Several people have requested an RSS or Atom Feed. There is now one, and if you subscribe, you can get updates whenever we make changes. RSS feeds are a super great, easy way to keep track of changes on many modern websites. For more info, check out the wikipedia entry:
   
4. Our Feed is over on the right, in the lower part of the sidebar.
   
5. It'll serve as a dated archive. Major changes and updates to the site will still get menu items on the left, simpl/small changes will be searchable by "Label".
   

Just Below this Post, there is a post that includes the links from the old "Recent Additions" page, so if you need more reading, click here.
