Dominic and Dwight chat at camp while Mount Harvard serves as a fine backdrop.
Our camp was located right under the
west slopes of Mount Columbia.
The weather took a turn for the worse overnight and we set out for the summit of Mount Harvard in a light snow the following morning.
We found and followed part of the trail north of Bear Lake.
The clouds began to break and we could finally see our objective. Our route follows the ridgeline on the left.
The crew losing a bit of elevation on Mount Harvard's south ridge.
The sun makes a strong appearance as we climb the south ridge. Hopes for UN 13,374 are high.
Looking back at Dominic and Kevin on the south ridge.
Approaching the summit with rather poor visibility. Big boulders and slabs make for slow going here. The wet, blowing snow didn't help either.
Adam and Dominic nearing the summit boulders. In summer this is usually rated class 2+, but its actually a bit tricky when snow covered.
Summit celebration on Mount Harvard.
The crappy weather continues as we head back down to camp.
