A quick hike up to the summit of the Mt Carillon. We started around 2AM in the morning and approached it via the chute right below the Lower Boy Scout Lake. Easy walk up considering a firm snow and good company.

North Palisade – an epic trip which I’m unlikely to ever forget. Almost died descending - dodged a massive rock that apparently got dislodged by a melting ice. Flew by only by a few feet away from my head and only thanks to guys yelling did I notice it… U notch is notorious, that’s for sure.
This the first taste of proper alpine climbing, that is ropes, harness 14k – fun. I can’t stress more how thankful I’m to guys for showing me how to manage this mess. I’m still much more comfortable unprotected than with ropes but at this point it’s just stupid not to be.
As you may already guessed we took classic U notch route, via North Fork. Camped around 12400, just at the foot of glacier. Alpine start and that year was snowy so luckily we had no ice on the approach. The crevasse at the bottonm reminded of how painful will the slide be should we glissade down for any reason. I remember I collected a lot of gear on the approach, funny – apparently there are folks that do just that in Yosemite.
