Camp heat had been turned on for us, but it was still chilly |
at the loj |
lose a layer |
reaching marcy dam |
crossing below marcy dam |
a pose |
losing a layer |
crossing the river near Klondike lean-to |
we leave the river |
and head up the brook |
lots of snow |
water to avoid |
up to |
the snag |
a bright idea |
a snowball fight |
the stream is wide above the snag |
lots of snow |
and careful rock hopping |
climbing |
climbing |
a short excursion on a side stream brings us to the slide |
the climb begins |
some airplane crash debris |
lots of climbing |
sunshine |
high enough for great views |
but more to climb |
carefully |
carefully |
to the wall |
we assemble |
a look back |
traversing the wall |
through some brush |
we make it to the overhang |
final ascent to 360 views |
a pose |
down the trail |
soon enough ascending |
a steep stretch |
trees getting shorter |
above treeline with a view of wright |
final ascent |
on top |
we pose |
wallface |
the descent begins |
the slide we climbed |
lose a layer |
falls on MacIntyre brook |
the next morning signing in at big crow |
climbing |
a hint of the views |
head stand |
between the cascades |
looking for minerals |
nice intrusion |
the falls |
blue calcite |
getting a picture of the falls |
curiosity |
exhilarated |
a peek at split rock falls on the way back |
