Dreams of Climbs While Watching the Clouds Go By

By John P. DeGrazio 

Working in Yosemite has so many benefits. Who wouldn’t want to look out their office window at Half Dome? I had a meeting in Yosemite Village the other day and was a little early so I took the opportunity to lay back and close my eyes for a few minutes. Before long, I was in a trance and began to daydream about climbing some of the Valley walls around me. Within days, I was out on the Glacier Point Apron fulfilling my dream. On the climb, I looked over at North Dome and the Royal Arches and dreamed about my next climb. After all, it is an endless process.
