Eldorado Peak 7-11-09
Finally on the west side, we got our permit for 4 days to cross what we are
calling the Eldorado Ice Cap. We hoped to snag 6 peaks in the 4 days. Mark would
join us for a a day and a night and head out the way he came. Sonny, Aaron and
I, joined by the multi talented Ziff, would continue on.
The first day is a bit of a monster. River crossing, steep forest, alders,
talus, heather, snow and finally rock and glacier. The 1st of 6 distinct
glaciers, in the 4 days. We started early in the AM at 2150 feet, had a 200 foot
descent between basins, set camp at 7,600 feet, ate and went up to the summit
for sunset, at 8,900 feet for a big day of just under 7,000 feet of ascent. Our
high camp was splendid. We went to bed with great anticipation for the vast new
ice clad territory awaiting us...
