Fremont Peak
June 18, 2016


Fremont Peak is the bump to the left of the tree that sticks up above the saddle in the center. Agassiz Peak is to the right

Fremont Peak and Agassiz Peak from the Inner Basin


Looking down at the Inner Basin. The peaks in back are Abineau and Rees (the high ones), Sugarloaf, and way in back, O'Leary


The Weatherford Trail cuts across an avalanche gully below Fremont Peak. In 2015, we bailed down this slope to escape lightning!

Now looking down at it, after just scrambling up the rocks


The summit is close


Mattias and Doyle Peak behind


Me at the summit. In back are Agassiz and Humphreys Peaks. Surrounding me are hundreds of flies.


Agassiz Peak and the old road, now repurposed as the Weatherford Trail


A good side view of Fremont Peak's east ridge that we ascended


Fremont Peak as we hike out


Looking down at the huts in the Inner Basin. Kind of looks like Austria, no?

It hailed on us!
