Mt. Tyndall and Wallace Basin 2009

Another day without our full packs!  But that doesn’t mean it was easy.  This is supposed to be the easiest route up Mt. Tyndall, but we were still worn out by the end of the day.  2000 feet elevation gain to the summit, which is at 14018 feet elevation.

Journal Entry: No clouds at all today—great day to climb at 14er!  Left camp around 9:30, got to the summit around 1:00.  Took a chute on the way up that probably wasn’t the best route.  Awesome views from the summit, Whitney, Kaweah, Palisades, Brewer, and of course Williamson all in view.  Studied our pass for tomorrow and even saw the upper part of the other side which didn’t look bad.  Left the summit around 2:30 via a different route, kind of steep at the bottom.  Back at camp 5pm.
