I’m heading out tonight for an extended weekend in the Eastern Sierra. Not quite sure what’s on the agenda, but I’m looking to knock a few more Sierra classics off the list. Alpine ice should be in killer shape right now, so I’m thinking North Couloir on North Peak or we may revisit the North Couloir on Mt. Gilbert.

Would also like to tackle a good long alpine rock climb – Mathes Crest maybe, North Arete on Matterhorn Peak maybe. We’ll see. I’ll check back in later this weekend with an update and hopefully some good photos.
