There were plenty of skaters out on Tenaya Lake, since Tioga Road still allowed access when I took this on January 14, 2012. The road has stayed open this year one of the latest dates ever, finally closing on January 17th.

Since Tioga Road was still open this January (though it has since closed) the climbers were able to get up to Pywiack Dome.

These climbers tag teamed their way up the dome, they were going super duper fast, I could not believe it!

What is fun about this location is that there is a huge crevasse between you on Tioga Road and this dome, so even though these climbers are up very high, you can hear them talking and laughing from Tioga Road, it is so close to the climbers.

Breaking clouds along Wilson Hill Road. We finally have some rain around here after a dry December.
