Voted 10/10 | A beautiful, clear day, just like the day I swam in this lake. Later that afternoon, we were navigating the LeConte and South Cascade glaciers by compass in a snowstorm!
Thanks for the pic and the tour.

Hasn't voted | I hadn't heard about your experience, but it is very similar to what we experienced, except that nobody swam in the lake. We got through the Sentinel-LeConte Col just barely before the cloud deck got down to that level, so we at least didn't have to navigate in fog. We had strong winds, but it wasn't cold enough to snow, and it didn't start raining until we had set up our bivy site just above the South Cascade Glacier on the SW ridge of Sentinel. We spent two nights at that bivy site. | | Posted Jan 15, 2008 8:02 pm |
