(trip) Clarence King, Gardiner, Cotter, Fin Dome 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. (trip) Tower Peak, 11,755' 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. Leader: Kelly Maas (408) 378-5311; kellymbase-pcs@yahoo.com
