 | Comments: |
nice quick ascent to King Ravine..some interesting rock hops and ledge scrambles around the mammoth boulders. Some chose the Caves where ice remained. Climb out of the ravine steep but uneventful with small areas of loose rock. Cool breeze and dry rock made this a great alternate route for seek the peak today. Lots of folks coming and going on Adams in 30mph winds. Descent uneventful though enjoyed water break at the Crag Camp. Viewpoints along Spurr into the ravine spectacular.. nice footing on Short Line |
