Bristlecones on Chaleston. Jan 10, 2009

Mummy Mountain is the backdrop; the head of the mummy is to the left.

We climbed Charleston by the Big Falls route Jan 10, 2009. There was a lot more snow than apparent in this photo, which shows the south-facing, partly melted slopes across the valley. This point was near 11300', and the ridge was blown mostly bare from there to the top, with some large drifts.
