Myself, Rick Kent, Kevin Trieu, Scott Swaney, Aysel, Darija, Eileen, Tyson, and Peter headed up the South Fork of Bairs Creek Saturday morning. After camping at 9600ft, and witnessing one of the most stellar sunrises I've ever gazed upon from my bivy, we headed for the summit of Mt. Williamson.

Conditions were variable, from brutal postholing (me, always) to nice firm pack, but Eileen and I turned around at 11.5K, just below the headwall, since I had to be at WORK on Monday. (Edging ever closer to dirtbag, trust me...)

The group turned at 13K due to high winds, and came out today (Monday). This will definitely be on my list of future projects. Arthur: if I have to drive to SD to drag you up here, you're on this trip.

A fantastic weekend and a great group of people. Thanks, gang.
