Re: Weminuche Peaks
Let me know what the saddle to get from Vestal Basin to Trinity Lake is like. I got pretty close coming down off of East Trinity but I couldn't tell if it would be difficult to get over with a backpack. It looked like it, but it's hard to tell until you try it. I can send you a pic of Leviathan and Vallecito from Silex if you want. That may help you to see if there is a route from that side.

We won't be heading into Vestal Basin unfortunately, for the same reason that I wasn't sure how bad getting over the head of the cirque to Trinity Lake would be with a pack. We may make an attempt on East Trinity from Trinity Lake though, I'll let you know how that goes.Barry Raven wrote:Let me know what the saddle to get from Vestal Basin to Trinity Lake is like.

We're probably doing Levianthan from the other side although the north face looks like a hell of a climb.
