Martha on the Tower Traverse, 3hrs 5 min. from Iceberg Lake to Summit. |
| We separated at the summit with me taking the trail back to the car and Rob descending the North Couloir back to East Face Lake to retrieve the camping gear. I made it back to the car by about 10 pm. Rob made it back by 7am the next morning after catching a little sleep and having been stepped on by a climber who, making the approach at 3 AM, thought he was a log. We ate a big breakfast at the Whitney Portal Cafe where they serve pancakes that are 12′ in diameter. -mr |  |
