"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

ThunderstormInitially it was a backpaking trip to Red Castle lakes. In the late afternoon, started climbing the peak from one of the rock slides areas on the east side of the lake. There was a huge hail and thunderstorm all the way to the top. Here is the 360 video of the climb.

Interesting peakWent up the couloir on the east side that takes you to the saddle S of the peak. I suspect it would have been delightful on snow, but without any snow, it was slow progress up it. It was easy from the saddle to the summit. I was relieved to find that the pillar is easily passed to the east because until I got there I wasn't sure I'd be able to get around it.
