“look for a rudimentary passage through thick brush that ascends up and right toward the slabby granite slopes above”

Instead of “right,” it might be better to say Northeast. I wasn’t sure if “right” was a direction or being used like “right up until.” I ended up taking a very clear parting in the brush up a drainage that had many class 3 moves and it spit me out in the forest and not in the glacier-polished granite I was expecting. I hiked northeast from there and eventually found the granite area.

On the return, I found the cairned route through thick brush and found out the entrance from Alpine Lake was way further east than I was expecting. It would be difficult to know it’s that far east unless noted.

It’s a beautiful route and an extremely difficult day hike. But thanks inspiring me to take on this challenge.

Way too hard for the benefit.

Staggeringly beautiful photos, as usual, Leor. I wish I had a life to live again as an Alpine runner. I’d start training in my teens. It would so be worth it. Your photos take me there instead.
