Day hike from Red Lake Trailhead
This turned out to be probably the most painful hike ever. Lack of acclimatization had a lot to do with the pain. Almost 13 hours car to car. The headaches started once I made it back to Red Lake from Prater. Thank God I did no go up to Tinemaha, as I initially planned. The hike from Red Lake to car was a downhill three hours complete misery. And Prater, might not be a technically difficult hike, but the whole affair was a Sisyphus torment. I always say I'll never drive back to Red Lake Trailhead and yet, I drove there 6 times.

From Upper Basin
From our basecamp near the Kings River, we slogged up from the west to the Split-Prater saddle. Easy slow walk to the summit for views of the next rain storm.

Dayhike from Red Lake
Nice view, long slog, especially with absolutely no snow above Red Lake. The little catwalk was cool. I originally intended to knock out Tinemaha and Bolton Brown, but had no energy.

From Red Lake via N Slopes
With a large group of 7. Excellent conditions. Favorite part was the snow climb before reaching Prater-Split saddle. First hiked Split and then Prater.

South SlopeEasy climb from the Split/Prater saddle, but a long way to get to that point. Nice views from the top.
