| I started the day at Dose meadows, hiked up to Lost and then Cameron pass. From Cameron I traversed the ridge to the saddle between McCartney and the adjacent unnamed peak of nearly identical height. My choice at that point was simple: press on toward Obstruction Point (my objective) or summit McCartney and then press on. Tired and weary I pressed on, descending the Lillian glacier and then clawing my way back up to Low pass. I now realize my mistake and will return one day (if I can ever get back to the Olympic Range) to climb McCartney. |
