Villager Pk, Rabbit Pk, Villager Peak dayclimb
PHOTOS: http://snownymph.smugmug.com/gallery/43 ... #255791013
DaveG and I dayclimbed Villager Peak, Rabbit Peak, back to Villager and out (on less than 3 hrs of sleep). This was the longest dayclimb I've ever done, with the most elevation gain in a day ever. GPS said 24.1 mi with 8,400' gain before it turned off 2.69 mi from the trailhead. (I think its listed as 21.2 mi with 7900' gain). There was Sierra Club group behind us, led by Mars Bonfire! I've seen his signature in countless registers, and finally got to meet him! How cool is that!!!
Pre-dawn start
made it to Villager in 5 hrs, then spent almost an hour at the summit
On to Rabbit Peak
Met a legend on Rabbit Peak
Back to Villager
After 17.5 hrs of hiking, we took it easy
