ShinLVShorty's Well - Telescope Peak - Mahogany Flat  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Oct 11, 2009

3 of us started Shorty's Well on 2AM and made it to the Peak by 1:40PM.(took 11hours 40minutes). Actually, it was a slow pace.
Since we started early, temperature was cool enough and didn't drink much water. I drunk only 2.5 litter and didn't refill the water at spring. (I brought filter)
After half hour break at the peak, we descend to Mahogany Flat in 2hour 20 minutes.
Total 14.5 hour trip was successfull.

Will Do it again next year.

Nice trip. I used Iodine tabs rather than a filter (ascorbic acid 45 min later to clear up taste); the water is milky but OK to drink. It's good to take headlamps, NSAIDS, and radios if you are meeting a party on the ridge.

"If trekking in the summer," -- what sort of insane person does this trip in the summer?

Group of 15. The real fun started after we refilled water bottles and started climbing up the ridge. We were welcomed to the summit by a freak snow/hail storm and sub-freezing temperatures. From there, it was few more hours to Mahogany Flats.

Part of a group of 8 that day. I carried way too much water, we all did. The spring runs at least a half mile and you don't need more then 2L of water to get there. The work hard starts after the spring. It's just a nasty slog after that.
