Summary

A bit of escapism in this time of cholera. I remember we (Shirley, Blondie, and I) climbed this with our friend Brian Jenkins as an overnight outing (I was convinced we had done it as car-to-car till I read Brian’s summit log). I’ve taken the liberty of using Brian’s photos (taken from summitpost.org) and have tried to give him credit. Here are the summit log excerpts from summitpost (6 years old when we signed them in 2009):

Brian Jenkins – Jun 5, 2009 1:01 am Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2003.

What Radek said Sucess!

Putting down the same date as Radek but who knows when it was. I remember a sweaty bushwhack to some snow and then a hot, bright climb. And being tired on the summit. Didn’t we camp in like a natural air conditioner with cold air blowing up from a melting out creek? I might be getting confused with another but if this is the one I think, Shirley made excellent pasta at camp. I think I remember Shirley kicking our ass on the hike out too. I could barely keep up. Fun time.

rpc – Jun 4, 2009 1:42 pm Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2003

Fun! Sucess!

…date is a guess now. With Shirley & Brian Jenkins (& Blondie). I recall the beautiful rainforest hike on the approach & of course the summit views. A great time was had by all of us I think.
