Folks, we made it over Tioga Pass and it…is…beautiful!!!
All went well until the down slope leg into Lee Vining and the ’11 ended up overheating its brakes on an 8% grade, but we managed to work our way through the issue to get safely into camp. Definitely have some brake and clutch work to do in the morning.
More to follow, after we grab some chow.
