Mt. Denison - Camp 2

Camp 2. We elected to cut day 2 short by a few hours due to the softening snow and warm weather. With every step, our knees would sink 2ft. deep in the snow, a problem exacerbated by 75lbs. packs. As luck had it, we found this oasis of grass and flat ground amid a huge snowfield. In 90 degree heat, it didn't take arm-twisting to yank out the ground pads and take a nap in the sun.

The feeling of pulling off your boots and socks after a long day trudging through snow, rivers and muck can not be described in words... Dick, would you agree?

Napping.


The red arrow indicates our progress since being dropped off a day ago.

Taylor and Dick elected to sleep outside under the stars... err, two hours of twilight.
