Mount Humphrey's

Mount Humphrey's from top of Mount Thompson.

None of us wanted to descend back down the ridge and ramp. Luckily, Steve had climbed the peak via the class-2 route in May (don't ask), so he quickly led us down that way. The rub was that it involved descending almost 1000 feet to the southwest, then re-climbing about 500feet to the Thompson-Powell saddle. For several of us, this was the first hard trip of the year, and for awhile we suffered mightily for our winter of sloth.
