Its funny you mention that. On the way up, I did get stung on my left hand and below my knee between the 2000' to 2500' area.
The only stings for me this year though, isn't suppose to bee past their season?

I was last in line, and it sure got me moving up the trail fast! The bites swelled up a little bit and the next couple of days had me scratching at them pretty good.

I keep thinking about these poor hornets. They must be thinking "geez! we build this nice nest way out in the middle of nowhere all these idiots keep disturbing us - what gives?"

Paul found the register hiding under a rock after looking for it awhile.
It was a crumpled aluminum tube holding scrapes of paper in about 3 different zip loc baggies. There was some historical entries in there that had been printed out from record like, the first ascent by Fred in 1948. Great find!

We were going for the North ridge until the weather changed our plans to doing the West face. The South ridge looked very far away and a pain to get to.We did finish our route on the last part of the SE ridge traveling on large talus.
