Shepherd Pass, Williamson and Tyndall

Lagenbacher -- yes, I meant to say north side. Thanks for the correction!

But we only went halfway across the steep north slope, to where it was possible to go back up the summit ridge and finish it out on class 2 rock. We also went down the north slope (not the rib, per se). Faster, but with lots of loose stuff that would be prohibitively annoying going up.

thanks for posting and very cool picts -
brings back memories. I agree to do both peaks and out on a 3 day plan is somewhat aggressive but a fun challenge. what I would not have given for some rain and hail on the way out. the Shepherd's Pass trail is grueling on a mid-afternoon

thanks again - Tom

My pleasure.
Yes, the cloud cover on the way out was a godsend.
