Amazing views all around! Camped at the tarns. If you have time, explore the basin filled with tarns! Very picturesque!

Double bag
Climbed South then North summit via typical route - climbed through some pretty thick / wet fog and rain. A dog friendly hike

Beautiful Walk-Up!
The scenery on this hike was just amazing. My son and I made it to the true summit. It really is a walk up to the south summit, with just a short scramble at the end to get to the true summit - which was fun. Exposure was a non-factor - although the summit block definitely just has room for one!

Sunset hike
Sunset hike and scramble during a backpacking trip to the tarns. From the north summit descended directly to the northernmost tarn, mostly scree slopes and boot-skiable snow.

True YAB
Hiked with my Aunt to the false summit, made the trek to the true high point myself and met a strange fellow putting up a radio of some kind. Best fall colors I have seen

Sunset trip...
Got to camp, set up the tent, then took a 30-minute trip up to YAB. Waited a bit and saw a great sunset.
What a piece of cake. I think the junction is a bit more than a mile. The exposure between the false and true summits is over-hyped. If you've made it to the false summit, you might as well finish it off and bag the true summit. Lots of flying ants at the summit. Bagged this after bagging Table Mountain and Huntoon point.

Very cloudy, very lonely, but very epicWas super cloudy and cold all day, and the snow was still low, so I was trekking around in the snow by myself the whole day. Spectacular views though

A great ending to a three summit dayWhat a piece of cake. I think the junction is a bit more than a mile. The exposure between the false and true summits is over-hyped.
