- Range of Light doing its thing
Even I, a shameless snob for granite, had to admit this wasn't bad:
I crossed the pass...
- Upper Spiller in an autumnal mood
...& strolled up Secor's bench...
...but found wherever the bench ends, and the first chute starts, to be ambiguous. Eventually I figured I'd gone too far towards the south ridge, and cut back north and uphill, hoping to intercept one of the chutes. If I did, I never knew it. I climbed until I could see I would shortly be outclassed, and called it a day. (As it was, I made the last mile back by starlight.)
Still, I wouldn't have called the effort a wasted one.
Any advice, though, on not missing my exit next time?
- I love the tundra
. I thought it was on the easy side of Sierra class 3. Go late in the year, that chockstone cave will take a while to melt out.
