Mammoth 2025
Mammoth Trip, 2025
September 22
Reversed Peak
Even though the condo was adequate, spacious, comfortable and quiet, I slept badly the whole time, and my SpO2 was usually about 90% saturation. I was not acclimatizing well.
For this first day we considered going back to Rock Creek for a rock climb, but that hadn't turned out well in recent years, so we reverted to a semi-old favorite. Reversed Peak for the first trek, a short distance away off the June Lakes Loop. That fairly steep trail through the desert up to the rock scramble at the top. A short outing to prime the body for what's to come. -F.
