High Sierra - Angel Wings

HIGH SIERRA - ANGEL WINGS : The Beckey Route in winter w/ Jay Wilson ~ Jan 1981(24) images

That's winter with a lower case w. After an attempt on a new line up the center of the face, we took a day off and then on the fifth day did the Beckey route on the left end of the wall. Got down in time to get as far out as Buck Creek where we slept on the bridge. Next day we made it out and over to the east side before taking Route 6 back to SLC the following day. A really fun 10 day trip.
