Brigands in the basinHiked up to Royal Basin with no real intent on climbing anything and ended up on Fricaba. Camped out in the upper basin for 2 nights and went to the spirit world.

Deception, Fricaba, and Hal FossA nice detour from Royal Basin. We had less than perfect weather but it didn't stop us from getting three 7000ers.
