The Long Tour

June 19, 2009

On the Friday following our descent of Mt. Evans, Kilo and I decided to hit up the area again. The temps had been climbing in town, but we doubted that the North facing lines had melted out significantly in such a short time.  We had also been talking about the possibility of a traverse from Evans to Gray Wolf Mountain, on the far end of the cirque. A long tour, with a few unknown sections thrown in, promised adventure, and since we were also looking at doing a route on the North Face, which had scoped the week prior, the odds of us finding some decent turns seemed likely.
