Dinner Plate Traverse (trip report)

Post by Eric1234 »

Two weeks ago a friend and I climbed the "Dinner Plate Traverse," a group of 5 peaks surrounding Lake Tulainyo, the highest named lake in California. Its an awesome route in the Sierras, off the beaten path and away from the nearby zoo (Mt. Whitney).

Hi Eric1234,

Welcome to HST! Beautifully detailed TR and pictures! :thumbsup: Have been interested
seeing Tulainyo from the peaks around it to see which offered the best view
of it, got my answer.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Wow, what a terrific report. Both the photos and the account are wonderful. That is such a great report it makes me feel like returning to peak bagging (my main objective in the Sierra before getting obsessed with high lake fishing).
Since my fishing (etc.) website is still down, you can be distracted by geology stuff at: http://www.fresnostate.edu/csm/ees/facu ... ayshi.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
