| Leaving Green Camp en route to High Camp |
|
 |
The hike from Green Camp to High Camp is shorter but steeper
than the hike from the trailhead to Green Camp, and of course, the altitute is higher.
The upper peak with its icecap is very foreshortened now. |

 |
The final pull up to High Camp is up a steep trail. The mules
drop their loads at High Camp, then return to Green Camp for the night. |

There are many tent platforms at High Camp, and once pitched,
High Camp can be a cozy place. Arriving at mid day, we spend the afternoon
resting, acclimating, and preparing for the morrow’s summit climb. |
| Jennifer is ready to go to the summit! |
|
 |
With chores complete, we can relax and enjoy the evening. |
| Pre climb sunset |

We will retire right after sunset in anticipation of our pre-dawn start for the summit. |
