Matthes Crest, California, USA (10,918 ft / 3328 m): via the S to N traverse

September 4, 2005

Matthes Crest (10,918')

Brief report:

A long day (15 hrs car-to-car) as we climbed this beautiful ridge as a party of three (Mark Ingram, Sam Eichelberger and I). We belayed the first 2 pitches to get to the crest (60M ropes) and then simul-climb until the notch between the south and north summit. Belayed the last pitch to get to the north summit. As it was getting late, we rapped off the north summit. I guess I gotta go back and finish the full traverse some day.
