Grant, Kevin, Chuck, and I headed up the Southeast Slope from Horse Creek Pass route. This turned out to be a long outing for a single day. We camped out at Twin Lakes and took off in the morning. We followed a trail for a ways up into a meadow area that looked really good for camping. Read full post...

From this point, we deviated from the standard trail by cutting sharper to our right over a ridgetop. This made for a more interesting variation to the route, although it most likely did not save us any time.

After summiting, we began the long descent back to our camp. We made it back with the last light of day, 17 hours round trip.
