| partners | | Met birthday-boy Chumley and BobP at GCP the evening before. We car camped with the Hippy just outside of Pasture Wash Friday evening. It was very chilly, but with absolutely ZERO wind I slept VERY comfortably.
Was great to meet the legendary BobP...I immediately enjoyed his company as he brought much food and persistently asked me to partake. The evening menu consisted of mustard braut burritos with vanilla-wafer sugar-cookies for desert!!
The next morning, Hippy went back to a SAR class at GC. The three of us traveled on to Bass and quickly sped down the north end of the Esplanade. We started to climb "Weethawally" by traversing upwards, in a southerly direction along its eastern side looking for the simplest route to the top.
We [MISTAKENLY] came to a large dihedral at the south-eastern tip of the mountain and climbed up as far as was comfortable. After exploring every possibility (and cheating death a few times), BobP finally relinquished - - we went back down feeling a bit dejected..."Fokhagyma"!!
It was still reasonably early, so we kept traversing around the south end and finally found the correct "karen-ed" route, just left of center on the southern side.
This climbing proved MUCH easier and we were quickly at the top enjoying absolutely AWESOME 360 degree views and a perfect cool breeze!! |
