Stoke is high at the beginning of the trip.

Kurt mentioned that he finds balloons every time he goes out. The streak continued on the way up to Phelps.

Diana pointing out every single person she knows on the register. Phelps is not frequently visited, so the list was surprisingly small.

Summit selfie waiting for Kurt to get his camera set up. Sorry Kurt.

Phelps in the background. Attempting to hit every prominent piece of rock to make sure we got the real one.

A perfect example of the kind of day we were having. Nothing dry.

On the way up toward McClain.

A final step up toward what we thought was a false summit on the right path toward McClain. It turns out the correct move would have been to traverse left here and stay low.

Cool alpine environs - tarns, snow, scraggly trees, everything.
