Mount Weed
August 17, 2003
Be prepared for a slow ascent up a scree gully. The gully is broad so that it appears you're not even moving! Once you get to the rocks, things get more interesting. As the book warns, rockfall is indeed a hazard. We started a rockfall -- like a running stream of water -- that lasted for several minutes! |

reached the rocks
A welcome change of scenery from the long approach
Interesting rock formation (mouse over for a different angle)
