Veered right a bit of the South saddle (red line) for a more adventurous route up to Timp... but once we got up on the ridge, we saw we could have done an even more interesting way (yellow line) cutting into that cliff band and zigzagging along the shelves as seen in the 4th picture (taken from South Timp).

Only a few patches of snow remain between Aspen Grove and Emerald Lake.

For those interested in doing Deseret Peak... the snow is still in the couloirs, but only for a little while longer!

Didn`t get much mountaineering in this Spring, so trying to catch the last bit of something before the snow`s all gone.

Bagged Bierstadt today! Thought I could get Evans too, but took one look at The Sawtooth and went "nope"! I was also by myself... either way, that stretch looked intense even without the snow.
