Dragon Peak from Onion Valley

5 of us dayclimbed Dragon Peak from Onion Valley. Met another group, and we were all connected in a way (fun!) Justine did a search and found stuff on my website. Russell knows Rachel and Brooks, and has seen my truck all over. Shane runs track for Bakersfield (4 of our group are from there), and I had hiked with Dee last year (with a big group)! Small world! Still a lot of snow up there, but a lot less than 2 weeks ago. Fun hike, fun summit, fun glissade, great company and perfect conditions!
Shane, Russell, Dee and Justine (small world)

Tomcat on the crack
KathyM crossed it next, and the rest of us followed
Kearsarge Peak (dayclimbed it 2 wks ago), Dead Mouse Lake, and the way we came up
Happy on Dragon Peak
Moondust descending
Moondust climbing down to make room for me
Me coming down the crack
