HIGH SIERRA: HUMPHREYS : Northwest Ridge ~ June 2-4, 1013(43) images

With a little over a week before Betsy and family arrived I needed to get in a few more climbs before the tempo changed. This peak has been on my tick list for a long time. With section of snow all the way up the route, it was far more interesting than it would have been without. Glad I brought a 120' rope for the numerous raps I made to speed up the descent. Nice thunderstorm 2nd afternoon. I had already decided to move down to a nice site I know just off the Piute Pass trail. Got there just as it started to come down in earnest. Really nice sunset afterwords.
