After spending one of the wettest Mays on record in the Valley, we were hoping for a better luck in June. We got a little bit of both. Bryan and I did a route on the West Face of Russell in marginal weather. Spent most of the day in the clouds. Walked out the next day in a storm. Then the weather settled down and the three of us did Temple and Bear Creek Spire. After that Mary headed home and I went off to solo Clarence King. Up the East Ridge and down the South. Don't think I did the drop down that the 'Indirect' does. Just stayed with the ridge. Lost all the pictures from the Russell and Clarence King.
