IMG_9115.JPG6 viewsMt. Darwin on the Sierra Crest from the summit of Mt. Solomons. Mt. Darwin stands at the head of Darwin Canyon, about 1.66 miles south of Lamarck Col. The ridge in the foreground is the southeast ridge of Mt. Warlow (to the left, not visible). Warlow can be ascended via this ridge (class 1) from Muir Pass. The telephoto lens makes this ridge appear much closer to Mt. Darwin than it is. Darwin is over 3 miles beyond the ridge to the north. I summited Darwin more years ago than I would care to admit!Dec 14, 2012

IMG_9105.JPG3 viewsTo the east, beyond the Black Divide, Mt. Agassiz (left, 13,891'), and Mt. Winchell (13775'), at the northern end of the Palisade Region, on the Sierra Crest. In August of 1989 we were near the summit of Winchell on the 3rd class East Arete, and retreated due to thunderstorms. The following year I climbed Agassiz with my younger brother. In 1993, I reached the summit of Winchell via the East Arete alone.Dec 14, 2012
