Vesper Peak Bivy

Vesper Peak is situated opposite of Mt. Dickerman (photos in previous post) just off of the Mountain Loop Highway, between Darrington and Granite Falls. Recently, I got a 36 hour block of fine weather and solid snow to check it out.


Now here was an interesting stream crossing...


KW on the approach. The avalanche debris from a long snowy winter abound.





KW in the icy chute to Headlee Pass.




MWF hangs out with about a vertical mile of exposure below the summit(not our climbing route!).



Here's a set with Mt. Pilchuck and Puget Sound in the distance.



Pick your favorite color... summertime haze in the high country.



Hey, that's where I slept last night!
Morning rays with Glacier Peak, Sloan, and the Monte Cristo group in the background.
