Driving through Tuolumne Meadows one cannot but admire the surrounding peaks. Yet we are often too rushed to reach mountains in faraway places. This time we will stop and enjoy the ones nearby. To add to our fun\, we have chosen peaks that require a bit of technical climbing. To be able to use ropes and climb as a group\, the technical section is limited to one short pitch of class 4 or so.

Days 2 and 3\: Climb Keith and Bradley.
Day 4\: Pack up and return to the trailhead.
We may throw in University for good measure\, depending on time\, weather\, and the desires of the participants and whims of the leader. The trek to Center Basin is quite long\, but the trip should be easy from a technical point of view.
