Lone Peak July 14th

Climbed Lone Peak with a good group. Jeff Lauer my new neighbor went along with Cal Fotheringham, Shawn and Katie Corbridge Josh and Amy. Overall a good day, but the weather turned on us a bit at the top. A big black cloud encompassed the summit right when we got up. I booked it down with Josh and Amy, but others still trying to get to the top really had trouble getting down. They got to low on the mountain and got lost in the darkness. I had a feeling to go back up which I did and got them off without incident. The weather was actually extremely pleasant, overcast, and light rain a lot of the way. It cooled things off and made for an excellent day.

June 2012 Lone Peak

Soloed Lone Peak June 16th. Rode my bike from the house to Jacob's Ladder then stashed it and up from there. Nice climb. Quite a bit of snow still on the mountain but nothing like last year. Did the round trip in about 6 hours.
