Headed up to Mt Tyndall with a friend and to meet some friends. Beautiful hike, beautiful trail, and awesome 2,000 feet of Class III+ exposed slab climbing.

Here's the pics:

A few river crossings early in the hike makes us think this will be nice:

After gaining this saddle, we were dissapointed to see we had to lose about 1,600 feet of elevation before heading back up again. F#@!
