| A poor route choice lead to a long day. The climb up was great, but rather than descend the couloir used to come up (no crampons or axes, my parrtner and I decided to descend the NW side of the peak and make our way back around. After being cliffed out and adjusting our route numerous times, we made it back to camp at the high lakes after 19 hours (car to peak to camp). |
