I went climbing with two of my friends, Eric Franklin and Burke Harris, the second weekend of August. We decided to try for the summit of Mt. Daniel, which is a peak within the heart of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. It was a great climb as it required a small amount of glacier traverse. This meant that we got to use our ice ax and crampons. We picked a beautiful weekend, however the temperatures were almost too warm as I got heat exhaustion on the way back down. Overall, it was a great experience.
