Tentatively looking at Unicorn, Echo Peaks, Clyde Minaret, BCS, something around Bishop or Piute Pass, and Sill. Unfortunately, this will be near the start of my summer trip again, so I won't be in peak shape yet.
I try to get out to the Sierra Nevada at least once a year, at first mostly the Palisades, and in my experience it never disappoints. Been spending more trips in the Evolutions and Pine Creek Pass area last couple of years. So much to explore. Thanks for the great report, it's getting me psyched for this summer!
Well, you had that rope as some extra weight. Regardless, you beat me right out from the blocks! Definitely a great outing-- good call you made. I'm seriously considering trying your water method this summer.
Consider? Either that or I can put some rocks in your pack. Water is cleaner than the tap out there! Let me know if you want to meet up... Unicorn and Echo Peaks sounds interesting....
