Mammoth Trip, 2022
June 27
Agnew Lake
Our lunch spot.
Across Agnew Lake, the Gem Lake Dam can be seen at the top of the valley. Also visible is the other tramway up to Gem Lake Dam. Material travels between the tramways by barge across Agnew Lake. -F.
Progress had been slow to here. The projected destination for the day had been Spooky Meadow, from which the slope of talus and scree provides the most popular class 2 route to the summit of Carson. Long ago, Bill had once hiked past it, and considered what it might take to summit from there.
While I was initially game to continue on to Spooky Meadow, Bill was not enthusiatic, pointing out that the going was about to get much tougher with very little reward, so maybe we should save our energy for tomorrow. Good idea. -F.
