i got call the night before from brennan, who threw some options down on the table. He had never done jobs sister from heavenly so that was gonna be our choice for the day. after dropping one car at the top of high meadows we took off for stagecoach lodge. we don’t actually have privileges at heavenly so the discussion turned to turning around and marching up from high meadows. we knew it was a long day in a short time frame, but we both wanted to get our slog on, so up we went. brennan also has some words and pics on unofficialnetworks.com
around 8,000′ things got sticky in a miserable fashion. brennan not loving the slog right now
in fact, the glop was so bad we couldn’t wait to be marching up scree
brennan hadn’t had enough so he went for an extra walk down the ridgeline
i walked up too
the sun had left before we dropped in. brennan
i dropped through a mostly open bowl just off the peak
there was light at the end of the tunnel though
high angle (sorta) crust and low angle pow (sorta)
