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
Hazy skies but clear mind. We climbed to Lone Pine Peak (we being myself, Lorenzo, Lauren and Hayla). There was one of my 2017 close calls when a giant bolder slid underneath me and took off roaring down the chute. We spent the night a few hundred feet below the summit and boy the sunrise was amazing. That haze really made it look different, less saturated and more delicate. Really enjoyed this trip and will definitely come back one day. We almost met Sarah and Peter, as they were accenting the North Ridge, but we decided not to wait for them and just left them a present at the top. Btw.. that haze is because of burning forest somewhere near Olancha

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.

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
