IMG_3395.JPG16 viewsWe set up camp, but have trouble deciding whether or not to attempt the peak today. The weather is improving, but it is getting late, having taken longer than we thought to get to this point. Ideally, we should be coming down from the summit of Thompson. The weather is still threatening.

IMG_3462.JPG16 viewsThe orange block in the foreground is actually the pinnacle we first climbed in error, northwest of the northwest summit. Lopez, in "Idaho, a Climbing Guide" refers to the summit as the west of the two summits. This is where the register is, but the southeast summit is higher, according to National Geodetic Survey (see IMG_3503).
