Mt Clarence King
2 September 2018

We got a solid crew together for this trip. The plan was to hang out in Sixty Lake Basin and have a go at Mt Clarence King, Mt Cotter, and Mt Gardiner for a mini-peaks marathon. Members included Craig J, Bill, Ting, and Garrett and myself of course. This isn’t a trip report but rather an excuse to post a few memes we generated in the process of planning for the trip. They mostly revolve around Garrett’s extreme stoke for bagging big batches of peaks.

It was just another sublime late summer outing in the High Sierra. As good as it gets. Half the reason I make these posts is to give myself a reason to wistfully rifle through old pics from the gang and relive the happy times. If you can’t tell, I’m actually writing this in winter, stuck inside, dreaming of mountains!
