Mt. Langley Summit (Sierras)

[Jammer]

Last week I got out for another "Beyond Utah" hike. It was a fairly short jaunt up to Mount Langley -- a 14er in the southern Sierras. It's a relatively easy summit near Mt. Whitney and I made the trip even easier with a base camp at a lake half way up the mountain. It could be done as a LONG day hike, but I wouldn't recommend it. I really didn't need to spend the second night at the base camp though, but it let me take it a little slower and check out some other lakes. It was amazing how much less snow there was compared my trip through the similar area last year LATER in the season.

A few logistic notes:
- the ultra-creative Cottonwood Lake names of 1 through 5 differ on various sets of maps.
- the "boulder" route to the top isn't that bad, but some may not like it. The longer "left" route is pretty much a walk up.

After freezing for two nights in my "desert" bag at 11,000 feet, I went to Death Valley where it was 117 degrees. Quite the difference in about 6hrs on my watch!

OK -- below is the video for the hike.

Thanks,

This video wasn't as good as your others, due to Mr. Shadow not joining in on the adventure.
I sure hope he is well and had a good excuse for not participating.

But other than that---

Yeah... Mr. Shadow was afraid of the marmots so he only appeared in a ONE still!

Thanks!
