Trip: Seven Fingered Jack (7FJ) - SW Slope

 

Date: 8/18/2013

 

Trip Report:

I took my two younger sons backpacking this weekend to Leroy Basin. My youngest also accompanied me up to tag the summit of 7FJ via the standard talus/scree-slog. My friend PG met us at camp separately and joined us for the climb and descent before motoring out early for home.
