Laurel Mountain, California, USA (11,812 ft / 3600 m): via the NE Gully

August 6, 2005

Laurel Mountain (11,812')

Brief report:

Climbed on snow for the first 300 vertical feet of the route. Unfortunately, the 5.2 crux move was buried under 12+ feet of snow and missed it. So, instead, I picked my way up on class 4/low 5th cracks just to the left of the main gully to compensate for it. A decent scramble. I climbed with SCMA members Murray Z and Cathy R.
