Mt Jefferson July 5th & 6th

Click on an image to enlarge the photo.

Went up the SW Ridge of Jeff over the July Holidays with Linday Clunes (left) of CMRU and Iain Morris right) of PMR.





Weather started out crummy on 7/5. Cloudy and misty all day. The good thing was that it kept the temperature cool.





We set-up a bivy at 7,800 feet and just as the sun was going down, the weather cleared.




Video view from Bivy the morning of 7-6-08 - still in my sleeping bag.





The next morning we got up at 5:30am and headed up the SW ridge. (The snow-filled gully 3,000 feet below is the Milk Creek drainage that we went up last June)







Had a great time and great views.


Got back to the truck at 4:30pm exhausted and headed home.
