 North Peak 2 |
|
| Finally the Big Day of the Epic Climb has arrived. Group Photo at Trailhead. | Two years ago we took the ferry from here to cross Saddlebag Lake for our hike through the Twenty Lakes Basin. | Today we master the clinkers on foot. | Our first glimpse of North Peak. | And there she is! That's our mountain! *gulp* | We find a spot to cross. | And the next little climb begins. | North Peak on the right. A litle further back on the left, Conness. | Bill's Photo of David taking a photo of Stella and Frank. | This photo. | Bill rests after taking that photo of David taking this photo of Stella and Frank. | Onward ho! | Stella thinks, you gotta be kidding! | . . . as she surveys the streambed ahead. | Yup, it's up the streambed. | Look, there's even some stream in it. | And here Bill calls a break before the climb starts in ernest. |
