After walking in from the portal we made camp at Iceberg Lake. 5 of us in one tent intending to do the East Face. Tired from the hike we decided to climb on Saturday. A good decision since it snowed in the afternoon. That night the wind started and never stopped. We had to walk out without summiting. Went down to the Alabama Hills and climbed until our fingers bled.

Next year.
