Knife edge. The
route from the top of the couloir to the summit
involved some easy but very exposed scrambling.
Note the huge dropoffs to either side of the
"sidewalk" in this photo. |

Scrambling on the summit ridge. EB makes
his way up the ridge, with the Conness Glacier below.
The bottom of the Y-Couloir is just visible at center
left of the photo. |

Cathedral Group & Half Dome.
Looking southwest from the summit, you get fantastic
views over the Cathedral Group, the Tuolumne Domes and
Half Dome.

Chilling at 12,590'.
Lance, EB and Chris take in the views off the NE face
of the peak. Conness Lakes lie far below. |

Sierra gets up top.
Not to be outclassed by her bipedal companions, Sierra
scrambled her way up to the summit over the exposed
ridge. What a kick butt dog she is.
Mindful of Yosemite NP regulations, we kept Sierra on
the Inyo NF side of the summit.

Group summit shot.
Self timer skills were in rare form to get this group
shot from over 35 feet away. This photo looks to
the south. Left to right on the horizon are
Banner, Ritter, Donohue, Rodgers, Lyell, Maclure and
Florence. |
