| no partners | | Started on time! No mountain running events , no closed roads. Parked at the Upper TH, 2dr Rubicon. It was a bit more chilly than I expected especially in the lower gully (scree fest).
Again opted for talus hopping vs. trying to negotiate the scree on the gully of despair. So eroded on the right side. One foot in front of the other and before I knew it (actually over an hour later) I was past the saddle and ascending the upper gully (Lavander Col). Then the infamous V notch! That was actually a fun quick class 3 move, looked much harder in the videos I saw.
Summit views? 360 degrees of majestic mountains and beautiful blue lakes. Winds were calm, clear skies... truly rewarding!
The descent was treacherous for sure. Overall a fun and challenging hike.. Steep scree that can make one scream 
Next time? Southwest ridge approach! |
