We will be going over Bishop Pass and going up from the west side. There are 4 other 14\,000ft. peaks in the area If interested in some of the other peaks let me know. Helmets would be required on the Thunderbolt and Starlite\, climbing shoes recommended.. I have a permit for 7\, but walk up the day before may allow us to get more.

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.
We'll use the holiday weekend to do a relatively relaxed 3-day climb of Tower Peak\, which the guide books seem to consider is the northern boundary of the \\"High Sierra.\\"
Leaving from Leavitt Meadows on Hwy 108\, the approach is somewhat over 10 miles\, mostly on trail\, with minimal elevation gain. We'll climb the peak on day 2\, and retrace our steps on day 3. The class 3 section is only near the end. Most of the peak is class 2.

Emilie Cortes and John Gray\, aka Team X Whisperers\, formed a 2 person team to face the Upper West Rib of Denali (aka Mt McKinley) in June 2009. It was John’s fourth time on Denali and Emilie’s first time ever to Alaska. What was it like to suffer day after day uphill in temperatures that vacillated from subzero to boiling with a heavy pack and sled? Did all the logistical planning pay off or did they miss something critical?
Another no-peaks trip\, this will conclude my Yosemite canyon trilogy of 2008-09. I've done this a couple of times\, but I can't resist repeating it.

Participants must be comfortable on class 3 terrain and must contact the leaders to be signed up and tell them about their recent class-3 and mountain climbing experience. Permit is for 6 participants including the leaders.
