These are a few weeks old, meant to put them up some time ago but never got around to it. This was the same weekend Kevin was up there.

the trip report can be found on the blog listed below.

All shots with a Pentax K20D, DA21mm Limited, DA35mm 1:1 Macro Limited, and DA 55-300mm.

Nice. Gotta love that muddy/rock climb near the end!

Wholly crap! Snow? What was the elevation?


I read your climbing info when I clicked on the pics. No need in responding. Very cool though.

I was with Kevin and Val on Snowy the same day (May 11). Snow started appearing at about 3200'.

yeah, it was between 3000 and 3500. There was a bit of snow off the trail lower than the stuff on the trail. But at a certain point there was a few hundred feet of mostly snow climbing which then turned back into rock scrambling.

thats nothing...2 weeks later we were in NH and hit at least as much snow at 3100ft. It actually prevented us from getting to Mount Isolation, and we had to settle for Davis (not a bad settle, 360 panorama...and just a stones throw from Isolation). 2 years prior I did the same hike and the trail was totally dry.
