Moraine Dome, easy class 2, 8010'. Nice climbing up the granite slabs. From the summit, we saw Half Dome, Mt. Clark, and other peaks floating above the thick fog covering Little Yosemite Valley, and we reflected on our climbs of those peaks a couple of years ago. Then the sun shone deep red through the fog, illuminating Half Dome with a beautfiul soft red glow.
