Allright Klas.

It's time to officially have a thread where I post an SHR picture, and you post one from the same spot from your trip. Or vice versa.

For background, my hike was with one other person, beginning in mid-June of the very large and late snow year of 2006. We did much of it on snow, with resupply in Bishop over Piute Pass, at Reds Meadow, and Tuolumne Meadows. We saw few people and fewer mosquitos. And we didn't go nearly as light or fast as Klas did, that speed demon.

Let the comparative photo postings begin!

Evening hiking towards Muir Pass, with Black Giant in the background. June 24, 2006.

Could you post the trip dates - Month and Year - for a little perspective on conditions. Thanks.

I'm going to enjoy this!

keep them comin Dave, great thread!!!

Would you mind posting a gear list for this trip?
It doesn't need to be exhaustive I just find gear list for dealing with less than ideal weather, minimal resupply ect. much more interesting and educational than the standard summer SUL list.-Thank you

Nice Dave.

This is from Muir Pass looking back down at you, Mt Powell in the distance, late July 2007.



Sorry I didn't get one of the Black Giant. I took far fewer pictures while on the Muir Trail sections, as I had seen it all before...yawn.

My turn:

On the morning climb to Frozen Lake Pass, looking across Lake Basin at Marion Peak, the obvious Red Pass, which our route descended, on the right.



The Muir Trail USED to go through here...on the way to Cartridge Pass, I found and lost the old JMT a couple of times... I was happy to have this all alone... Wonder what it looks like with some snow...

(gearlist is on my profile)

Best I can do to match your pic, Klas. This is looking back the same direction from the final pitch to Frozen Lake Pass. You can see the same mountains in the distance. Afternoon, June 22, 2006.

Klas, your turn.

Descending into Upper Basin, below Frozen Lake Pass, in the early evening. Mather Pass to left, and saddle to climb to Split Mountain on right across basin.

I think this other picture I have from Frozen Lake Pass is a pretty good match:

Ok, I'm back.
The race up Haleakala went great.
Conditions at the top = 20's, blowing +50, sleet.
Garments = Running shorts, Patagonia L/S Cap1, MontBell U.L.Wind Jacket, Possumdown Gloves, Visor.

Next installment:



Let's stop giving descriptions and see if you can guess. This one should be easy...

congrats on the race. that sounded pretty cool from the web page. go klas!

i just woke up from a nap and i'm too sleepy to figure that one out. it's not looking back towards Lake Italy from Gabbot Pass is it?

Edited by DaveT on 03/18/2009 21:11:22 MDT.

I think that is a very interesting guess, for two reasons:

1. The foreground lakes indeed look a lot like the toe of Lake Italy. I never thought of that before.

2. Gabb is the center-peice on the horizon.
