Will the real summit please stand up?
We're assuming it was the farthest point from the Thompson saddle, but several of them appear to be within about a foot of each other....
Long day from Iron Creek including Thompson and Carter.
Route Climbed: XC thru Goat cirque to N ridge Date Climbed: July 2004
Did from Iron Cr TH to Goat Lake and XC up through the cirque to Thompson-Williams saddle. Then finish by standard class 2/3 route up N ridge. Absolutely spectacular views of Horstmann's N face and all the southern jagged Sawtooth peaks. Better views than from Thompson. Went down Thompson-Williams headwall to alpine way. Then took alpine way trail back to Iron Cr. TH and on the way passed through herd of bugling elk, really cool. Whole day was a knee-knocking ~17 miles / 5,000 ft. vertical.
Route Climbed: Summit Ridge Date Climbed: July 24, 2005
Did a cicrcuit scramble / trail run that included the summits of: Williams, Thompson, Carter, Mickey's, and Carter. Mickey's Spire was the toughest part and the most dramatic.
