East SlopeAfter just hiked Twin Sisters and Mtn. earlier, I made the walk up to Battle Mountain which, was my goal. I taked on Lady Washington since I was up there and still felt good.
Took Jim's Grove down. Long but satisfying day.

After Meeker and LongsMeeker via the loft, Longs via Clark's arrow, down the keyhole, across the boulderfield and up Lady Wash. About 7300 ft. vertical. Sweet loop in under 11 hours.

MarthaMartha was still in winter conditions and was mostly just deep, soft snow. Luckily Mike N broke trail but climbing still involved thigh deep wading through snow.

Via MarthaClimbed in winter conditions via Martha. Martha had deep, steep snow. The 2 ice cruxes were not hard but required some thinking. Descended via eastern slopes. There is a lot of snow up there. A fracture line could be seen on Flying Dutchman.

Great ViewsWent to the park to attempt Longs, but there was still too much snow so I decided to head up Mt. Lady Washington. Great views from the summit!
Arthur Digbee - Aug 9, 2009 10:16 pm
Ugly mountain, beautiful viewsLady Washington is just a big pile of rubble, but you get great views of Meeker and Longs, two beautiful peaks.
It was really windy when we climbed - - gusts over 35 mph on the summit, I'd guess (it was difficult to stand up).
bechtt - Jun 8, 2009 12:59 am Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2009
East SlopeHigh winds and lack of sleep convinced me to save Longs for another day. Nice consolation prize.

East slopesHiked by myself on a Thursday on a day off from work. I had it to myself. The views of the diamond and Meeker are awesome- almost as good as my nap on the summit! I brought along snowshoes but didn't use them. I recommend starting early and leaving them at home if you are going now.
