A trip report!
This is by Ron Hudson, a very serious-level mountaineer. If you don't think so, when he left from this trip, read further, when he left to go to Tahoe, and win the US Orienteering Championships in his age group and bag 5 peaks, then come back down and bag Tehipite by the traditional Rancheria route as a 29 mile DAYHIKE.
