In the evening we hung out for a long while at the Whoa Nellie with Pavel, Vendula and Carol... lots of fun! That night we watched the perseid meteor shower - sleeping under the stars, with an alarm set for 2:30am proved to work very well - we saw one meteor per minute, very exciting and hard to go back to sleep!

Sunday was similarly dodgy with the thunderstorm cycle continuing. We climbed Crying Time Again under the ever so threatening skies - barely finishing the last pitch before a huge shower started... we hiked down the long way, avoiding the steep slabs that were now dangerous. Took us about 1.5 hours (done in 4 pitches) - just in time.

	Starting up Oz at 1pm... taking our chances	Thunderstorms are here... but we are still dry	Beautiful clouds

	On the 5.10d face pitch

	The second crux	Starting up pitch 3 (we belayed at the bolts as it was threatening to rain)	The amazing Oz corner

	The awesome Oz corner! Wow wow	Rappelling down - it's raining now, perfect timing	Climbing Little Sheeba, nice 5.10a

			Ellery lake climbs

		Waking up in the desert... everyone made fun of us for wearing identical outfits. Not intended, I swear!	Crying Time Again, Lembert Dome

	Second pitch of Crying Time Again as the thunderstorm is coming

	Unsure if we'll be going up or down :)	Up, for now, let's hurry!

		Pitch 5, racing against the storm	Not looking good

		Last pitch. We barely finished and the downpour came :)	On the drive back home - this is around Oakdale. Clouds even there, but 110 degF temperatures...
