6/10/2018 Route: East Slopes Posted On: 6/12/2018, By: HikerGuy Info: Traversed across the east slopes from Half Peak to join the standard route up from Cataract Gulch. I used doggler's GPX track and it was spot on. Once I reached the ridge I found the easy Class 2+ passage on the west side blocked by a snow field. I didn't have my ice axe. I considered what appeared to be more difficult Class 3/4 options, but didn't have my helmet. So being solo and ill prepared, I retreated. I imagine the snow field will be gone in a week or two. |
