Incredible traverse from Joe Devel to Pickering to Newcomb with gorgeous sunset over the lake 12129
This was yet another crazy-long weekend, my first time hiking of the Cottonwood pass trailhead. It all started as an idea to spend long weekend up in Sierra to escape the heatwave that was about to hit SoCal.
Weâve started very late in the night and our idea was to hike in as far as we could and so we did, our first stop was near the Chicken Spring Lake. it was sort of short, just enough to catch up with altitude after the long break at the sea level and early next morning we left to establish our camp near 36.493, -118.2703. We immediately left as it was a very long day ahead of us. Our first goal was Joe Devel and it was stupidly sandy/scree awfully annoying to get to that summit, but we did. The summit itself is ok, with some views on Lake Erin and The Major General towards north, but I wouldnât call it picturesque. So we moved further as it was amazingly awesome ridge that we had to traverse before getting to our next goal â Mt.Pickering. Couple of sharp rocks but overall very enjoyable traverse, easy and fun. The Pickering itself has limited views towards north, but you can see much of the traverse towards Newcomb and Mt Chamberlain that is towards south of it. Excited about yet another stretch of rocky catwalk that connects Pickering and Newcomb we left the former and swiftly moving soon we arrived to the Newcomb. Personally I was way faster on the ridge but when the dealing with long and stupid gradual sandy incline the guys took off leaving me and the dust
Nevertheless the most beautiful part was ahead of us as the goal was to descent from the Newcomb towards the lakes below us but before we were delighted to see the beauty of the ridge connecting Newcomb and McAdie. Iâve promised myself that I will comeback there one day, so we shall see.
Descending down the time was upon us and weâve hit the 12129 lake just before the sunset. We were very limited in time but we could not resist and stayed there watching the sun shining on McAdie and its needles reflecting in the lake. Purely gorgeous sunset and one of few west facing shots in my collection as it usually takes a lot of time to get to areas like that.. Speaking of which, our way back to the camp was long and sometimes confusing as this area sees little visitors ( just a few occasional cairns above sky blue lake..)
Next day we decided to hike out hitting a few peaks on the way back, so weâve reached New Army Pass and traversed to Cirque Peak. Weâve reached cottonwood pass tagging 12525, 12417 and 12336.
Overall it was a remarkable journey, enjoy the images.

Ritter and Banner… Should I tell more? Actually to make it sound even more epic – it was a winter ascent, so double
Some of you might know where these mountains are located, for others – this is in the very heart of beautiful Ansel Adams Wilderness area.
Winter ascents have their own perks and in this case we added somewhat around 5 miles of plain walking from Mammoth resort (lifts) down to the Agnew Meadows trailhead - thanks to the deep snow. We’ve decided to break it down into 3 full days due to the snow: the first day was for hiking in, the second – to actual summits and the third for hiking out.
The approach itself was fairly straightforward... it’s a highway all the way until Ediza Lake, mostly flat. On the second day we’ve approached Ritter first and were able to cut a little on the west slopes via one narrow chutes just above the glacier. The summit was a blast but the fun began when we started traversing down from Ritter to the saddle below the Banner. I was not very comfortable with rappelling at that time and just descended on my own (now that I think of it was a bit stupid) but doing so allowed me to take a pretty epic shots of guys from the perspective otherwise impossible (lessons learned – have a second rope and rappel in parallel to the group for that epicness)
Anyhow, Banner was much easier but some of us were a bit slow so we met the sunset descending.. and the real challenge begun… The thing is that in order to get back to the Ediza Lake one has to go down rather steep slope (from the saddle between Ritter and Banner) And while I bet it wouldn’t be as much of a challenge during the day light, but the night added a few moments to that descent… We made it down safe regardless…
Next day was a long and painful return (lifts at Mammoth Mountain are slightly higher Ansel Adams Wilderness.) and while normally it would not be a problem, that extra winter gear got me so slow… – I barely made it back to lifts…
Awesome tri
This was the second day of Eugeneâs trip to CA in February of 2018. After failed attempt to summit Whitney and a miserable next day attempt on Morgan South we headed up the Death Valley for some warm and welcoming weather. We didnât have much time before the sunset so we settled on Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes and it was the right choice. A small hint for those travelling and taking pictures is to go to the right of the parking lot, in about a mile the footprints will disappear and if you lucky enough youâll get that 30 seconds of low sun just right.

Winter ascents have their own perks and in this case we added somewhat around 5 miles of plain walking from Mammoth resort (lifts) down to the Agnew Meadows trailhead - thanks to the deep snow. We’ve decided to break it down into 3 full days due to the snow: the first day was for hiking in, the second – to actual summits and the third for hiking out.
The approach itself was fairly straightforward... it’s a highway all the way until Ediza Lake, mostly flat. On the second day we’ve approached Ritter first and were able to cut a little on the west slopes via one narrow chutes just above the glacier. The summit was a blast but the fun began when we started traversing down from Ritter to the saddle below the Banner. I was not very comfortable with rappelling at that time and just descended on my own (now that I think of it was a bit stupid) but doing so allowed me to take a pretty epic shots of guys from the perspective otherwise impossible (lessons learned – have a second rope and rappel in parallel to the group for that epicness)
Anyhow, Banner was much easier but some of us were a bit slow so we met the sunset descending.. and the real challenge begun… The thing is that in order to get back to the Ediza Lake one has to go down rather steep slope (from the saddle between Ritter and Banner) And while I bet it wouldn’t be as much of a challenge during the day light, but the night added a few moments to that descent… We made it down safe regardless…
Next day was a long and painful return (lifts at Mammoth Mountain are slightly higher Ansel Adams Wilderness.) and while normally it would not be a problem, that extra winter gear got me so slow… – I barely made it back to lifts…
Awesome tri
Incredible traverse from Joe Devel to Pickering to Newcomb with gorgeous sunset over the lake 12129
This was yet another crazy-long weekend, my first time hiking of the Cottonwood pass trailhead. It all started as an idea to spend long weekend up in Sierra to escape the heatwave that was about to hit SoCal.
We’ve started very late in the night and our idea was to hike in as far as we could and so we did, our first stop was near the Chicken Spring Lake. it was sort of short, just enough to catch up with altitude after the long break at the sea level and early next morning we left to establish our camp near 36.493, -118.2703. We immediately left as it was a very long day ahead of us. Our first goal was Joe Devel and it was stupidly sandy/scree awfully annoying to get to that summit, but we did. The summit itself is ok, with some views on Lake Erin and The Major General towards north, but I wouldn’t call it picturesque. So we moved further as it was amazingly awesome ridge that we had to traverse before getting to our next goal – Mt.Pickering. Couple of sharp rocks but overall very enjoyable traverse, easy and fun. The Pickering itself has limited views towards north, but you can see much of the traverse towards Newcomb and Mt Chamberlain that is towards south of it. Excited about yet another stretch of rocky catwalk that connects Pickering and Newcomb we left the former and swiftly moving soon we arrived to the Newcomb. Personally I was way faster on the ridge but when the dealing with long and stupid gradual sandy incline the guys took off leaving me and the dust
Nevertheless the most beautiful part was ahead of us as the goal was to descent from the Newcomb towards the lakes below us but before we were delighted to see the beauty of the ridge connecting Newcomb and McAdie. I’ve promised myself that I will comeback there one day, so we shall see.
Descending down the time was upon us and we’ve hit the 12129 lake just before the sunset. We were very limi

Mount Shasta – this was an incredible team roundtrip from SoCal all the way upstate in a rented van. It kept surprising me how drastic were change in the landscape as we were passing SF. Shasta is the final (or one of finals) volcanoes in Cascade Range (as it scarcest towards the south), but you can surely feel the NW vibe (with pines, greenery) - drastic contrast to what we get in SoCal.
Knowing that Shasta is a local variation of (4th tallest) – aka Baldy (in terms of visitors) we took the Hotlum Bolum ridge, avoiding crowds on the main trail and indeed it paid us back by a decent feeling of solitude and isolation. The approach was actually quite straightforward, but that year was high on wildfires so it was somewhat hard to breath until we broke through smoke around 10k-ish ft. I don’t hold precise memory of where we camped, but I think it was 13k and the weather was good enough for us to just cowboy-style bivy near some large boulders to protect us from the wind. Because it’s a volcano, boulders are sharp and unsteady – surely something to keep in mind.
Summiting we’ve met a great number of people and at that time it indeed felt more like Baldy on summer Saturday morning, but it was ok.
