Reaching the Dana Plateau. The top section of the climb was hard and icy. We chose an alternate route down.
Enduring the wind on the plateau
the Western Mountaineering jacket sure was nice

Looking back down to our camp by the road. Mono Lake in the distance.
The best way down. Our ascent route was hard and icy.
We called this chute Crack Cocaine. It was a small trib off of Cocaine proper and provided a great rush.

Nice tracks!
The final pitch back to camp was steep, soft and fast.
