On the way back from Mt. Gordon a few of us made a detour to scramble up St. Nicholas Peak. It’s really more of a knife-edge ridge than a peak. - P1000427.JPG
After two nights at the Peyto Hut we headed over to the Bow Hut, stopping for lunch on the slopes of Mt. Rhondda. - IMG_9915.jpg

After leaving Yosemite we drove north to Reno, Nevada, spending a night at Lake Tahoe en route. This is Fran's photo from an early morning stroll down to the lake. - IMG_7484.JPG

Martin scrambled up Mt. Jackson while Fran and Alex went for a hike to Gunsight Notch. Here's Martin at the summit. It was a nice view but the mountain isn't much more than a giant pile of loose scree that makes for very tedious climbing. - Alex-Fran-Going-to-the-Sun.jpg
