| EarMountain | En-Route to/from Walton  Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2009 | |
| Ron and I passed over this saddle en-route across Harrison Glacier to a successful climb of Walton Mountain. On our return across Harrison Glacier our trekking poles, firmly lashed to our packs while were were using ice axes, were buzzing in a thunderstorm. It cleared briefly while we ascended to the saddle but retuned with a vengeance pinning us down for the night. Lightning nailed nearby summits, rock pummeled down and wind and rain made for an interesting night huddled near a cliff. | |

| Hiked to saddle at 7853 and downclimbed to below Harrison Glacier before giving up on a day hike to Walton due to tremendous crevasses at foot of glacier and lack of gear | |

| I never planned to be up there, but my brother and I got separated (my fault), and I had to look for him. My searching took me up to the Divide. I found my brother (later), and I found indescribable beauty, too. | |
