On
the summit.
That's me on top of Matterhorn Peak. The
slightly lower summit of Whorl Mountain mocks me in
the background. Matterhorn has terrific views
out over the entire expanse of Yosemite National
Park. The next page has some cool summit
panorama shots. |

Sawtooth
Ridge.
Looking NW from the summit over the jagged spires of
the Sawtooth Ridge, including the aptly named
Dragtooth, "The Three Teeth" and the
Sawblade. |
|
 |
Twin
Peaks. Looking SE over the jagged mess
that is called Twin Peaks. The red rounded
summit of Dunderberg Peak (12,374') rises in the
background. |

Down
the east couloir.
From the summit, the view down into the east couloir
is rather amazing. |

Hiking
out.
I got back down to camp at around 2:30. I ate
some lunch, packed up my gear and rehydrated. I
hit the trail at around 3:30, hoping to be back down
to the car before dark. On the way down, I got
one last look back up to Matterhorn. Note that
the couloir known as "ski dreams" on the
left is still full of snow. |

|
Robinson
Peak.
As I reached the meadow on Horse Creek, the late
afternoon sun was painting colors on the face of
Robinson Peak. I made it down to the car by 6:15
and promptly drove into Bridgeport for some pizza at
Rhino's. I was back home in SF by midnight.
The
next page has some cool photo panoramas from Whorl and
Matterhorn. |
