Trip: Bryant Peak - East Gully

 

Date: 2/21/2009

 

Trip Report:

last Saturday I climbed Bryant with my dad. It was the first time I've been in there and with the fog in the morning we botched the approach and ended up hiking a giant loop back to the parking lot at alpy. once we got back on track we quickly found the route with the clouds lifting and had clear skys. crampons wern't needed until the first gully was gained, and ere only needed for the short 50 degree step in the ridge (there's a pic in the other bryant pk tr) fun climb, a good day to be out.

 

Gear Notes:

crampons and ice ax, snowshoes are nessisary now with all the new snow.

 

Approach Notes:

Know where you're going! don't get turned around in the clouds!
