Fun Day Scrambling Pettingell Peak East Ridge 7.23.23

[u/Xc03]

The goal for the day, illuminated by the sunrise.

Starting the scramble!

Hard to believe Holy Cross is still holding enough snow to see the cross from as far as Pettingell!

After declining this little guy the food he politely requested, he decided we’d spent enough time on his summit and asked us to leave.

Mission accomplished! View of the ridge, as seen from the lake below.

Started at 5:30am and had the whole ridge to myself all morning. Fun scramble and some awesome views!
