fremont peak

#3923841 - 03/15/05 11:45 PM (19 years, 1 month ago)

annie and i went backpacking near Flagstaff. we went from the very bottom of the pic to the top of the 2nd peak from the left.from 7000 ft to 10600ft elevation the 1st day to the saddle between the Fremont peak (2nd peak on the left) and Doyle peak ( 3rd from the left).

it was the hardest day of packing i have ever done, 9.5 miles and 3600ft elevation gain. we crossed several avalanche paths and walked on steep side hills for miles (very hard on your ankles etc), cus in the upper elevations the the trail was basically non existent due to feet upon feet of snow.

the next day we summited Fremont peak elevation 11969 ft.

a view of fremont from the saddle

Annie about to summit. it was $#$^%# windy. countless times we Had to get on our hands and knees to avoid being blown off the side, no shit. a fall would have meant falling 100-1000's of ft down ice and rock cliffs and slide areas. what a rush :smile:

this is a pic of me on the summit. that's annie reflection taking the pic. we had to lie down to avoid being blown off and gettin blasted by the ice crystals and chucks the wind was carrying with it

well all that wind was bringin in a big storm (24 hours early i might add). it was cool because our camp was at the same elevation as the bottom of the clouds. it was snowing, blowing and lightning...awesome light show. there was a tiny small area behind some trees and a small rise in the saddle that allowed us to set up a tent in a fairly calm area. so the storm would rip thru 100 ft to the side and 10 ft above our heads, loud but calm. surreal.

leaving about 8 inches of fresh powder in the morning.

i was kinda nervous listening to it snow all night knowing we had to descend the next day over potential slide areas. but it all went well and it was beautiful

so it was a long beautiful hike out, we are both kinda sore...in a good way. thought id share. peace
