Here are a collection of photos from my adventures in Hetch Hetchy this last winter. A typical California winter with weeks of no precipitation and great partners made this route possible.

ReplyDeleteJust saw your ESPN interview Lucho--stunning! I instantly started looking into the "Urban Pioneer" program and found a closed down academy, is this the program mentioned? Sad if true, but Im hoping you might know of other similar programs. I think its an awesome idea and would hope to help support something like that local to me. Reply when you can; thanks!
