Distel32 Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 One of these should be very easy, the second might take a few guesses.... Quote
Distel32 Posted March 9, 2003 Author Posted March 9, 2003 nope, the guess to download ratio is very small Quote
klenke Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Are the lakes in the same general place? First one: one of those in the Enchantments? Quote
Off_White Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Maybe if you had a peak in the background of those lakes you might get some takers Quote
Distel32 Posted March 9, 2003 Author Posted March 9, 2003 good point, nope not enchantments. First lake is 11 miles in and quite a ______, second lake is "near" the index area, northeast of index and it should be "clean" not great hints, but might help a little Quote
eric8 Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 is the first 1 columbia or whatever lakes that are pasted monte cristo Quote
Distel32 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Posted March 10, 2003 nope, the first one is 7 miles past pete lake, and the second one is on the approach to monte cristo from the south  Basically gives it away there Quote
Distel32 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Posted March 10, 2003 close enough, it's virgin, about a half mile or so before blanca but higher elevation. Quote
eric8 Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 okay, i thought it was kinda small, i have never actually been to blanca, i was just guess based on your clues Quote
Distel32 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Posted March 10, 2003 yeah, I'm a little surprised no one has got the first one yet, thought that was going to be a give away! Quote
Distel32 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Posted March 10, 2003 oh so close, but not quite  Lake number one is spectacle lake, and finally an end is brought to this dreadful thread that I am ashamed to say that I started..... Quote
JoshK Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Damn, I actually knew that second one was virgin lake before reading the rest of the thread. Somebody obviously had a sense of humor when they named that thing... Â Were you up there recently? Blanca lake is beautiful. Quote
erik Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 the hike to blanca lake strikes me as weird......  and scree mtns around the glacier make a cool ass traverse....horseshoe style    Quote
Distel32 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Posted March 10, 2003 no haven't been up there since november, picture was taken weekend before thanksgiving. I was attempting to solo kyes, but when I got to blanca, I could see snow coming down the west slope of kyes because it was something around 45 degrees, it would of been a nasty climb. Quote
Off_White Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Being a sucker for alpine lakes with islands, I've always wanted to go to Spectacle. Lakes are cool, nothing to be embarassed about. Quote
Distel32 Posted March 10, 2003 Author Posted March 10, 2003 no better "shower" than an alpine lake on long trips! Quote
erik Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 off, Â swimming out to those things and chilling out is the best. plastic garbagfe sack gets your gear out there too!!! Â Â Quote
nolanr Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Spectacle L. is pretty sweet. I have determined there is no good way from the lake up to the Lemah massif, gonna be some bush wacking and swearing no matter which way you go. Quote
