This trip is to climb these three class 2 / 3 peaks on the \\"back side\\" of the Ritter Banner massif. We will begin Aug 29th (Friday) at the Agnews meadows trailhead with the goal of hiking in over the 2nd class pass between Banner and Grey. The hanging valley behind Ritter and Banner is one of least visited in the Sierra and very beautiful. Much of the trip will be cross country over old mining trails\, with route finding difficulties and long days. Milage will be 12-14 per day including elevation loss or gain of 3000'. Participants should be comfortable in these situations.

To avoid holiday traffic we will leave the Bay Area on Thursday. After a long\, strenuous backpack to camp\, we will have 2 fairly difficult climbs each day\, with short belayed climbing on Clarence King and possibly on Gardiner. If interested please be in very good shape with confidence on class 3 &\; 4 and with some roped climbing experience.

Conness DESCRIPTION:Start on Saturday morning from Saddlebag Lake to dayhike one of the most striking peaks of the Yosemite high country by the east ridge. This route is mostly class-2 with some class-3 sections. We will stay below the crest of the east ridge to skirt the class-4 (and harder sections). We will descend by the 'usual' class-2 route via the notch between Conness and White.
It is recommended that you drive up on Friday evening to be ready in time for an early start on Saturday morning.
