Memorial Day Weekend.
August hates his pack:
Adrienne strutting down the trail:
Our camp for three nights:
Heading out to climb Nest (our camp in the background):
Fun climbing on Nest:
At the summit of Nest Peak:
We had hoped on climbing Bird Peak also that day but the snow that was falling while we were on the summit of Nest Peak turned into rain as we descended. We decided to just head back to camp and pretend we were mountaineers (meaning: wait out the weather in the tent).
Looking up at Bird Peak:
We did go for a hike later that afternoon up Penguin Creek. This is one of the larger drops on Penguin Creek:
Upper Penguin Creek:
Hiking back to the upper Penguin Creek area:
California Peak:
Nap time:
Heading into the 'schwack on the way to Bird Peak:
Finally out of the 'schwack with Bird Ridge in the background:
Looking over at our descent route off of Nest Peak:
Looking up at the summit of Bird Peak (somewhere):
It opened up for a minute to give me a glimpse of how to get up there:
On the final ridge to the summit:
No pencil in this register either!
Looking back at the summit after descending:
Waking up A from her nap:
The end of a great buttslide!
Back at camp one more time before packing up to head out:
