"Southern Pickets 1":

Route: Terror Basin to Crescent Creek Basin

Climbs:

This was a warm-up trip and reconnaissance of the hike out for our planned complete traverse of the Picket Range later that summer. We had a great trip. Not only did we have stellar weather, but we summited three peaks, successfully negotiated the Barrier crossing, and scoped out the descent route from Crescent Creek Basin to the Goodell Creek trailhead.  Everything in the Southern Pickets just begs to be climbed.
