Good idea to stash some water on the ridge for the way down. Sucks carrying extra weight up the ladder, but totally worth it on the way down! Glad you survived!
that is great sir...here in the philippines,,in our climbs..we seldom find rock formation..it's more on trees along the way..but still we love it..it helped us to shed from the heat of the sun...
I learned on the first hike up there to carry at least 6 liters of liquid. The first time I was up there, I ran out of water and had to turn around before getting to the peak.
Yeah the funny part is that whenever i have climbed any of the other peaks in the Wasatch iv'e always brought too much water and this happened to be the one mountain i didn't bring enough on. The next time I do Jacob's Ladder ill bring double that and stash half of it on the way up.
Just summited this last week and went through all 4 liters of the water I brought!! There was still some snow melt available to drink if you bring a filter, but I would not plan on getting water because it depends on the year and the temps! Beautiful hike and a breeze compared to Twin Peaks in July, that hike has so much scree it was much more challenging. I'll take Jacobs ladder any day compared to that:)
