Third time

Musta been a bitch just getting to the 3rd Pill. Did you come over and down from Tioga Pass or grunt it out direct from Lee Vining Canyon?
Thanks again for the first ascent of Dana north face? I think. Been to the top 4 times by the standard route. I don't even want to look down on the north face!

Re: Third time

Thanks again for visiting! We parked down where the Tioga Road was gated (on the Lee Vining side obviously), here: http://www.summitpost.org/pancakes-new-orleans-style/436376/c-498055

Then we hiked straight up the hill in the background and climbed this chute to reach the summit:
