2009-07-03 to 2009-07-05 North Palisade

Joe and I chose to climb North Palisade (Chimney Variation 5.2) 14,248 feet in a three day trip. 

Day 1:  Approach










Day 2:  Ascending the chute






Climbing The Chimney



Summit




 The Best Feeling

We had a incredible trip with great weather.  This climb really got me psyched to start ticking off the 14'ers in California.  July during a heavy snow year is epic in the Sierras.  The contrasts of snow on rock is incredible.
