Clouds struck again
Most of the view was clear... except towards the ocean. Was neat seeing fog break over the ridges, though. Will need to go back one of these days.

70 Peaks In 30 Days
This was part of a month long mostly solo peakbagging trip in which I hiked every day and got 70 peaks in 30 days. On this day I joined my buddy Keith (IronHiker) for a very special list finish. We climbed the true summit of Bishop and then went over to hike Cerro Alto and Valencia. Congratulations Keith!

List finishThis was my LPC list finish. Zero views due to marine layer, but could hear the ocean from the top. Last of three for the day.

with Oats and Alancaught the peak on my return from Oats Peak and Alan Peak. Sunny clear day with a cool breeze of the ocean.
Someone needs to replace the summit register. It is jammed full of hundreds of bits of paper.
