Mt. Sparrowhawk

An 'easy' scramble to a 10,000' peak. July 26, 2008.
Mt. Sparrowhawk 3121m elevation, +-12km, 1600m gain including Read's Tower.

In retrospect the extra 250m should have been saved for another day, perhaps tied in with Sparrowhawk Tarns, but it was still a cool view.The scrambly bit.

View up at Mt. Sparrowhawk summit block... a long talus slog.

I didn't linger at the top, part of our party did not summit so I didn't want to hold them up, especially since despite using low gear all the way up so as not to bonk, my right knee was telling me stories most of the way down. Nasty nasty stories.

I'll get back to more photos of Lake of the Falls etc. soon.
