August 13, 2005

Kearsarge Pinnacles (12,034')

Brief report:

Part of the 2005 Sierra Challenge. On Saturday 8/13/05, the group left at 6:00AM. I climbed to Kearsarge Pinnacle #4 with Matthew Holliman and Steve Brezovec via a loose class 3 chute. The 3 of us got to the summit of Pinnacle #4 at 9:00AM. Matthew then decided to hit East Vidette while Steve B and I continued hitting Kearsarge pinnacles #3, #2 and #1 on our way towards University Peak. We found Andrew Wagher, Ron Hudson and others just below pinnacle #2. Andrew accompany us towards University but opted to descend earlier. Steve B and I continued onto University's summit. We found Eric Lee's summit entry in the register from earlier in the day. We descended via the class 3 north face and back toOnion Valley trailhead by 5PM. Then, several of us went to the Pizza Factory in Lone Pine to socialize.
