My first month in yosemite was vary humbleing, the yosemite climbing style is very forgin, lots of crack climbing which cannot be learned in the gym. Before I was sending 5.12s (in the gym) and in yosemite I could barely send 5.9 clean. My first time aid climbig was in yosemite, while aid climbing is generaly physicaly easy, it can get technichaly chalenging very quickly, I have taken many aid whippers but overall my trust in trad gear has increced dramaticly.
