Mammoth Trip, 2022

September 28

Conness East Ridge




We climbed over mostly pretty easy terrain, Bill getting way out ahead, making a big push for the ridge. I was some way behind, taking a somewhat higher route, but ran into a boulder that blocked my path. I looked at the clock and it was 13:28, so it made no sense to climb the boulder. I radioed Bill, calling out turn-around time. He reluctantly consented. -F.
