Thanks, Inge. Its easier than writing a trip report. Camera is always out so I don't forget anything.
Ridgeline and wingding, Everyone hikes at a different pace, and I know I was being extra cautious on this one. SnowDude did all the route finding, I was partially frozen with fear, looking down at the exposure after each move, and wondering if we could get back. I normally don't have a problem with class 3 and it wasn't that hard, but with class 5 exposure it scared the sh!t outta me with each move.

I've had vertigo and didn't want to make any mistakes up there, like when I was climbing Banner. I got up a vertical snow/ice chute, got my leg up on the boulder at the top, relaxed for a second, then the next thing I knew I was sliding down backwards, head first. Somehow I ended up with my ice axe in place under me. I don't know what happened, it happened so fast!
From Russell-Carillon Pass it took ~3 hrs to the east summit and another 40 min to the west summit. We took a 1/2 hr break where we turned around last time, stashed our packs and took only a jacket, water and snacks. I know at another place we spent ~20 min trying to get past a rough spot. There were a lot of tough spots. Coming back it only took 2 hrs from west summit to R/C Pass. It was probably easier because between the two of us we remembered which gnarly route we took to get up.
Trailtrekker, I told SnowDude I was ok turning back, but he probably didn't hear me, or maybe he was ignoring me. I've been having trouble with exposure lately . . . .

And yes, I hate the new webshots "improvements".
Buck, Tulainyo is a beautiful lake. We camped by it 2 years ago. The water is so clean there's nothing growing on the rocks at the shoreline.
Still working on day 3!
