This was the 2nd peak in a 3 peak day starting from the Jobs Peak trail head. 6 inches of snow remaining from a recent storm made for a beautiful hike.
2x, Went back up to do Jobs and decided to tag Jobs Sister/Freel while I was up there. Someone swiped the wooden peak sign in the last week. Couple thunderstorms rolled through Luther Pass during the trip.
Camped at Horse Meadow and hiked up to the pass between Job's sister and Job's. Ascended Job's Sister via South Face then traversed over to Freel. Dropped (scree ski) down Free's south face back to car.
Day hiked the Tahoe Triple Crown from the south. It was very windy and cold, but we missed the first winter storm by a week. A light dusting of snow and high winds made for some spectacular spin-drifts along the ridge.
Did a day hike to bag Tahoe Triple Crown - Freel Peak (10,881 ft, the highest of the Tahoe peaks), Jobs Sister (second-highest, at 10,823 ft), and Jobs Peak (fourth-highest, at 10,673 ft).
This was the second stop after Freel. Cold, windy and solid ice on the northern side. Crampons would have been nice. From here over to Job's Peak. Will do this loop hike again.
We hiked up Jobs Sister from the the ridge between Jobs Sister and Freel Peak. Basically no snow on the mountain besides very small patches. None of the patches were near us. We descended very quickly via the east side of Jobs Sister and Freel. Thank God for the sandy slopes. It was like skiing down the mountain!
Perfect way to spend a Friday the 13th. Completed an ~8 mile loop from the end of Road 051 to Jobs Peak then traversed to Jobs Sister Peak and then back to the car. 1-2 feet of snow above 9000' with some postholing, but the views and fall colors were phenomenal
My first "double bag" with Freel Peak. Found a $1 bill in the register box with instructions to sign & leave at my next peak which I did (White Mtn Peak 08/13).
