I got no feedback on Clyde, so that's still up in the air. |
|
That's a good day . I soloed Tenaya , a bunch of Echo's , and Cathedral , what a great day that was .... |
|
Agreed; I did the linkup, + Eichorn, last season, and had a blast. Once I was down I figured there's a good chance I'd get on it every year. And here we are. |
|
There was still quite a bit of snow on Tenaya last weekend. |
|
Ya Tenaya still has alot of snow on the route, looks like you might have to wait a bit before doing it. I heard third pillar is good to go, snow at the base but manageable if you know your shit. |
|
There's still snow on Tenaya- maybe 2 patches? I soloed it yesterday, it was all easily bypassed. |
|
Did the linkup last week, everything is in good condition. |
|
Glad to hear it. Stoked to do the linkup. |
|
Here are a few pics from yesterday. Don't worry about carrying too much water for the linkup; there are many streams right now. |

The only reason to go to the Cathedral Lakes TH is if you have a car shuttle, are planning to take the park shuttle or want to add another 7.6 miles. |
