Re: What

Thanks.. it is for sure one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. WIth the recent closures it's a 3 hour slog in there.. but having done it both ways, I have to say it's almost better this way - feels like much more of an accomplishment! The long walk must turn back many folks now, as we were surprisingly the first ones this season.

this ones on the list

GCutforth and I would really like to do this one this year. Did you guys bivy, or slog in and out in one day? You have great photos on your page by the way.

Re: this ones on the list

We did it in one day, left the truck at 7:15am, and returned around 6:30pm or so... a bit over 11 hours round trip. We did half of the hiking in the dark basically. On my website I have a map and more beta but basically it's not too bad!

Good luck and hope you get it, it's a great climb.
