Re: SufferingActually, it was not too bad. Definitely a great adventure to remember. We were planning to bivy on the mountain, just not en route :)

Re: SufferingWas this on the "Long Twisting Rib"?

Re: SufferingYep! The actual rib (aka North Arete) is 50-70' above our bivy ledge on the left side of the photo.

Re: SufferingOn the tableland above, people have been known to celebrate with Charles Mitchel!

Re: SufferingHeh, I know these people :)
We brought our own bottle of Charles Mitchell port but our group got split up so we could not drink it. Maybe next time, and on a different mountain!

Good times in the Sierra...with the exception of the bivy sacks, this looks suspiciously familiar... doesn't seem like it should be able to get that cold in California in the middle of the summer, does it???

Re: Good times in the Sierra...It was nuts... I thought my toes and fingers would fall off by that morning :)
Fortunately our bivy spot was strategically located to get the first sunlight. I can only imagine how cold it was during the first winter ascent of NE Ridge (by Warren Harding no less)

Kind of stuff I like......enjoy those "shots with a story" behind them (unexpected bivies in particular make for some great stories :). Make me want to go out into the mountains!!
Nice job Misha.

Re: Kind of stuff I like...Thanks Radek! This was not entirely unexpected but nevertheless interesting, my very first bivy w/o a sleeping bag in the mountains. Aside from worrying about the frostbite, this was quite enjoyable. Especially right now when I look at it from a comfy chair :)

Ah yes, the impromptu bivyI've been there and I agree it is much more comfortable reliving it from the comfort of a living room.
