DSCF0860.jpg5 viewsI can see the East Ridge of Mt. Cramer and it looks straightforward. The summit is on the skyline, about 1/3 toward the center from frame right. I've set a turnaround time of 4 pm, which is rapidly approaching. I figured 4 hours up, 2 hours down. That leaves me some wiggle room. I violate this by pushing the turnaround to 4:30 pm.Oct 16, 2023

DSCF0854.jpg4 viewsMt. Cramer through the trees. The "off-and-on" climber's path is exactly that. I follow the path of least resistance. The path becomes more obscure as the terrain opens up. I am more concerned about running short on time than losing my way to the summit.Oct 16, 2023

DSCF0853.jpg2 viewsAbout an hour after leaving camp at noon, I'm following the "off-and-on" climber's path that began on the west side of the outlet at Imogene Lake. This was one of the first small tarns I arrived at. The description I was following said to cross the outlet stream of lake 8320' and ascend the wooded slopes north of the outlet from the lake west of point 8817.Oct 16, 2023

DSCF0848.jpg2 viewsA peninsula on the west shore of Imogene catches the last rays of daylight, while the slope above and west is already in shadow. I meant to take a photo of the rainbow trout I caught, but it was getting late, and I did not want to be cooking in the dark, which, of course, is what happened!Oct 16, 2023
