Mt. San Jacinto (10,804') - North Face

Brief report:

Climbed Snow Creek in 1 day with Mark Ingram. We started at 4:30am and topped out at 6:20pm (about 14 hours later). We lost over an hour getting lost through the Bushwack Zone and then we rested about an hour at the 5,000-foot bivy spot. Met with a group of 4 (led by Jack McBroom). Also, met Ed Cottone from Irvine who was climbing solo. Climbed the 5.5 section on the right wall 30 feet downhill from the chockstone/waterfall. Then, climbed the 5000+ feet of snow to the summit. Took the Direct Finish summiting at 6:20pm. Started descending from the summit at 7:00pm and arrived just on time to catch the 9:00pm tram down.
