This was an amazing girls weekend with two good friends in July. We headed in for a couple of nights at Hilton Lakes out of Rock Creek (Sierra NV). We had our eyes on Mt. Huntington with an option to add Mt. Stanford. There was limited details on the route except what was listed above and a vague description of a few access options (mostly from pioneer basin on the west). Ultimately it ended up being a bit of a bigger day than we had anticipated but also more awesome than expected.
I got asked by a guide service I work with to evaluate their first aid kits. This is a great topic and I wanted to share some thoughts on packing your own.
After 24 days I finally stepped onto the ice shelf outside of Ross Island and McMurdo Research Station.
This was a backcountry climb done in July 2020. It’s a great option for experienced climbers looking to get off the beaten track when exploring the Palisades drainage.
