Hi..2 weeks ago Frank A. and I did Mt. Langley we started at 1:10am and got to New Army Pass at 6am...I liked what I saw from New Army Pass..So I wanted to go back up in daylight to see the area and use my compass so I can go there in the snow and I will know the area..

Got to Cottonwood lakes parking area at 7pm Saturday went to sleep about 8:15 woke at 11pm took a short acting sleeping pill at midnight, went right to sleep and woke up at 3:30 and hit the trail at 5am..got NAP at 8:30 had breakfast up there at the NAP sign 31deg. Went down Old Army Pass met a few backpackers and sounds like nobody slept up there from the howling winds Saturday night..Went to portal and had a coffee and chatted with Doug and Erlane..

Going down OAP I met Richard P. he was on a mission to do Langley...

Beautiful day

New Army Pass
