Mt. Goode




After our arrival at camp there was still plenty of daylight left. Joe scanned the topo map and conceived of a plan to climb Mt. Goode (13,085 elevation) that afternoon, which plan he immediately put into practice.

Alas, both his energy level and climbing skills were far higher than mine: I watched from afar as his minute figure reached the summit and studied the view down the canyon created by Bishop Creek.

Wow! The second shot is impressive. Wish he wasn't standing sooo close to the edge tho. ;-))

Typical of the Joe Style: edgy.

(Heh.)

He would love to be on your BLOG in such an impressive stance. What lake is below?
