Led the Milk Bottle  Sucess!

Had great fun leading the Milk Bottle. Thanks to my SP partners Tom Becht and Glenn Gookin. Started at South Lake and exited Glacier Lodge. We also had great fun climing our selected route up Starlight coming from Thunderbolt.

Summited as part of Palisades traverse  Sucess!

Hit SP as part of the Palisades traverse last summer. Great exposure and difficult route-finding, but Bruce kept us on course.

solo from North Palisade  Sucess!

Fun traverse from North Palisade. Meant to go on to Thunderbolt, but had some routefinding trouble (and dehydration), and trusted the better judgement of the little guy in my head that said "if you don't climb it today, that just means you will have to come back to the Sierras again."

Descended SW gully - one of the best rap anchors I've seen in awhile - a webbing knot poorly equalized with a protruding flexing pin. I shook my head and chuckled at the sight, then shook my head and grimaced after realizing there was no way to back it up, and no better option for another rap anchor.

Traversed from T-bolt  Sucess!

My brother and I did the traverse from T-bolt to Starlight as part of our T-bolt to Sill traverse. This was a fun section of the climb and the Milkbottle makes for an awesome summit pinnacle.

Traverse from T-bolt

Marty and I did the T-bolt to North Pal traverse from South Lake TH; ~15 hrs CTC. Got pushed off of North Pal by lightening ~1pm; otherwise another great day in the Sierras with great company. Getting down & across the Starlight-North Pal notch was the crux of the route for me

starlight buttress  Sucess!

We tried last year July 4th, heavy snow year, there was no snow bridge and we couldn't climb it. This year with super low snow fall, rocks are more exposed, and we were able to pass the bergshrund. Rest of it are a few good pitches with lots of loose class 3. But it was a good 14er, only four more to go.

From T-bolt Pass  Sucess!

One of the better routes in the Palisades. The Milkbottle is certainly an awesome sight.
