Did a loop that day, climbing Trico Peak, traversing to the south summit of T10, and then descending to Porphyry basin. Sun all day and great glissading!

Very nice climb with Mark and Aaron. Great views of the San Juans from the top. We were there right after a snow storm and the mountains were gorgeous!

Great mountain and area, which we had to ourselves. Awesome view from which I shot a 360 degree panorama of the San Juans. A unique vantage point indeed. Porphyry Basin is just enchanted. Been wanting to do this for years. Early snow cancelled our intended climbs and this one fell into place thanks to southern slopes that had melted free. A great way to salvage the trip!

Wanted to do 13477 from Black Bear Pass on a later day. On this day, I was heading for Three Needles (which I had not read or heard anything about). That looked too difficult so I did 13477.
