| A two-day climb of Prusik Peak. On the first day we
approached via Snow Creek, a solid workout of 10 trail miles and
almost 6000' of elevation gain. The next day we climbed in perfect
weather; I led the first two pitches as one, Stewart led the crux
friction slab (5.7), and then I led to the summit (5.6). The climbing
was good, but we would have liked more of it. We rapped off, repacked
our bags, and headed out. A couple of beers we'd stashed in Snow
Creek provided much needed refreshment before finishing the last miles
of a long day. |
