| Descent
of Talus |
| And
don't forget that once you have made it to your destination, you
must still navigate the steep descent back down the mountain. In
summer, this means you must face the 650 foot rocky slopes coming
down from the south rim to Shastina saddle. Be sure to save some
strength and take your time along these stretches since more falls
happen when descending than when climbing. The time to descend on
this trip was 2.5 hours to our camp in Hidden Valley over 3000 feet
below the lofty rim of Shastina's crater. Enjoy the views and Climb
On! |
