When I lived in So-Cal, I had a roommate that was so fired up to get to Yosemite that he traveled in the front boot of a VW. Supposedly, Fred removed the badge on the front of his car so that Ralph had a hole to see ahead. OK, I know there's not much room in there, but he was a very skinny guy. Perhaps it was just a story for a wet-behind-the-ears Oz, but it sure is illustrative. I did end up climbing the East Face with those two. Twice.

I'm taking a nephew from Oz there on Sunday.
