Mosquito Pass 5/13/07

(Above) This is one of the spectacular side valleys off Mosquito Pass. This one goes into the east and ends up in a vertical rock wall. Kenny went in along the bottom, and finally could not go in any further: too narrow, flowing creek, obstacles. Maybe with more snow, next year! I elected to go to the right of the notch, up on that sidehill up there where I found a place to perch myself and take the picture below.

(Above) I am now above the notch or creek in the previous picture. The camera angle is such that the camera is pretty well pointing at where we were when the a previous picture was taken. This was not a comfortable place. It looks flat and level, and it was for a hundred feet or so, but it really was quite precipitous. I am about 500 feet above the creek below that Kenny followed in.
