dmarch Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Climb: Clark Mountain-Southeast Slope Date of Climb: 10/9/2005 Trip Report: Climbed Clark mtn. over the weekend. Camped on a grassy knoll at 6000ft. There were several snow squalls during the night. In the morning, there was a dusting from 6000 to 6500, and about 3 inches at 7k. Whiteout at the summit(8602)and about 8-10 inches of snow. -snow made the descent/ascent of the gully easier, IMO -saw my first brocken spectre Gear Notes: trekking poles and a helmet wish I had brought gaitors for the descent Approach Notes: White river trail to Boulder creek trail. left the main trail at 5k. Left the sheepherder's trail at 5700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summitseeker Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) Very cool! Fascinating on the brocken spectre. I had never heard of that before. Eerie, really. Did you use any guidebook description for this route, just out of curiosity? --Scott Edited October 15, 2005 by summitseeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magellan Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) Is this the same phenomenon? The fellow who owns this picture calls it a 'spectral halo'. Edited October 18, 2005 by magellan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
