Checkered Demon, California, USA (13,121 ft / 3999 m): via the Kindergarten Chute (AI1/WI2)

September 18, 2005

Checkered Demon (13,121')

Brief report:

Climbed with awagher and rhyang. The Kindergarten is pretty mellow (38 to 42 degree slope). Because my car could only go up to within 1/2 mile of the McGee Creek crossing, we had a much longer approach. All in all, a 15+ hour day. Yeah, that someone was me who opted for the direct way down....meant bushwacking and a return to my hay fever allergies. Lost count how many times I sneezed on the way down.

Additional info about climbing Checkered Demon can be found here.
