IMG_9081.JPG2 viewsToo bad the rangers plugged up the fireplace. Wood is scarce at this altitude, and I am sure fires are not permitted in Kings Canyon National Park backcountry; even in a fireplace!

IMG_9083.JPG2 viewsIt was getting too crowded for me. We had not seen anyone the day before. It was time to start climbing Mt. Solomons!

IMG_9092.JPG2 viewsWanda Lake from the summit of Mt. Solomons. Our base camp is above the small lake the right (east) of the north end (most distant) of Wanda Lake.

IMG_9093.JPG2 viewsLake Helen northeast from the summit of Mt. Solomons. Echo Col is directly above the lake at the lowpoint of the ridge in front of the most distant dark ridge on the horizon (the White Mountains across the Owens Valley). Wallace Col, almost 560' higher, is the low point on the red-hued ridge above the snow patch in the upper left of the photo.

IMG_9105.JPG2 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.
