Mount Langley - SE Ridge
Mount Langley – strangely enough, but I delayed my visit to this famous mountain. It is famous for its northeast couloir that “starts at about 11,800 ft and tops out about 13,800 ft. On average it is about 40 degree climb, but maybe more than 50 degree at the top and up the last 200 ft of the east ridge to the summit.” But that first time we did it via the ridge. Starting at Turtle Creek TH we turned towards East-Southeast Ridge around 10k mark (I might be wrong) but basically you top-off around 12400 east of the summit with some splendid views on Mount Corcoran South. From there on, following the ridge line you top off near the summit. There is a line that adjoins NE Couloir and the ridge that leads to the summit – fairly straightforward. The summit is flat with splendid Sierra views anywhere you look. Long day trip, but well worth it. We did it via NE Couloir some 6 month later.
