BigSteve Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yesterday, my group completed an 8-day traverse Mt. Daniel to Big Snow Mtn. More specifically, we started at Cathedral Rock TH, climbed Cathedral Rock, to Peggy's Pond, standard ascent of Daniel, descended via Lynch Glacier/4th class slabs, down to lower Foss Glacier, then up and over Mt. Hinman to La Bohn Gap, then 2-1/2 day on Alpine Lakes High Route (w/Beckey shelf variation) to Gold Lake, over Big Snow Mtn., descent to Big Snow Lake to Myrtle Lake. Conditions and weather generally good. No human contact between E Peak Daniel and Big Snow Lake. I had done about half of the route on prior trips in the 90's. Travel this year was more rugged than I had remembered -- as usual. Getting off the Lynch Glacier involved technical exposed travel, but the route is otherwise comprised of rough cross country travel with some scrambling and tricky routefinding in a few spots. No time to post pics at this time. Heading up to do another high route on Tuesday. Great adventurous route with lovely camps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
