HIGH SIERRA: MT GOULD : Kearsarge Pass -Mt Gould ~ May 4, 2013(35) images

Coming from NH, a couple of warm up hikes is always a good thing. Included here are the two hikes done to get acclimatized. Palisade Glacier to 12,000' and Mt Gould to 13,000'. Two years ago in the big winter/spring of 2011 I'd been blown off of Gould as I started up from the pass. Bit anti-climatic this time around, though the bouldering at the top was quite nice.
