IMG_3418.JPG21 viewsThe professor makes an entry in the summit register on the west summit of Thompson Peak. We arrived here after first climbing the pinnacle just to the west, which was slightly lower, more exposed, and quite a bit more cramped on top. Both have couloirs leading to a notch, with a short scramble on solid rock to reach the top.

IMG_3529.JPG21 viewsThe deep lake high in the lake basin south of Goat Lake. There is a waterfall at its outlet, but you will have to go there to see it. This is the second trip we've taken here, and I still have not photographed it. The professor declined the opportunity to be photographed standing next to it.
