Our group of nine loaded up and ready to leave the trailhead
That black dot by Dean's finger is a moose
The trail is pointing directly to Kings Peak
It was rainy at base camp on our first evening
90 degrees in the valley - 40 degrees up here
Sunrise strikes Kings Peak first
Erika's pointing at Kings Peak from Anderson Pass 12500 feet
The last mile is a scramble over boulders like this
and then you're there - 13,528 feet
This shortcut on the way down was impossibly steep
We had to show off our twin Sherpa pants and shirts
This is on our way down on day 3. That's Kings Peak above Erika's right hand.
Back at the trailhead
Here are some more pictures from the three day adventure.

Wow, wow, wow. what a feat! i'm surprised there wasn't snow at the top. mount shasta (right above our property on lake shasta), always has snow on it. it's over 14,000 ft. hey that should be your next climbing adventure. Want to visit again? Fyi, we will not join you if you do it, but we'll cheer you on. :-)
wow!!!! that is amazing!
Such great pictures! It looks like a great adventure!
SWEET! I was going to invite you to hike Haleakala with us next time we go but it would just be too easy for you!
