Day 2 of 5 - Thunderbolt Pass - Barrett Lake - Potluck Pass - Palisade Basin
This was a short day, so we took our time getting back on the trail. Quad felt a lot better. Found a nice campsite with water nearby. Cleaned up, washed hair and did laundry

Dayclimbed Mt Sill (14,153') from Palisade Basin. We went up a ridge between the first and second chute to avoid the steep scree. Our 8th 14er!

Nice photos. I always remember Sill for one of the most studendous summit views I've ever seen. These photos bring back some nice memories. Perhaps I may come out of peak bagging retirement and start doing a few peaks again.

What a great trip! - Mount Sill has been on my list for a while - maybe next year I'll get to it. You're pictures will help me with trip planning.
