Trip Report

There were only three of us for the second day of the annual double, so the climb up the to saddle went fairly quickly. But carrying the rope after climbing Jack the previous day was too much for Rick, so he decided to make the saddle his summit. Danni and I roped up for the first pitch, and were soon on the summit. It was another windless day, but visibility was rather poor due to forest fires. This day was even hotter than the previous, so we all had to resort to collecting snow to replenish our drinking water. On the way back to town we stopped in Vida for dinner to celebrate our successful climb of two peaks.
