Mount Conness is a 12,649 foot (3,855 m) mountain in the Sierra Nevada range..is a training ground for alpine climbing since it utilizes all aspects of mountaineering: trails, scrambling, and glacier trekking; all at a high altitude for California. Usually climbers camp near Tioga Pass and begin the climb at dawn. It takes about a full day to summit.
The summit block consists of class 2 scrambling along a knife edge ridge leading to the summit consisting of spectacular views to the east of the Conness Glacier and to the west toward Tuolumne Meadows.
Technically speaking, the "cable route" is class 5, A0 (aid zero). Meaning all is good as long as you manage to hold to the cable. If not, that will be the end. Polished granite is very slippery. 8)
This is one of 35 Mountaineers Peaks listed by the Sierra Club for the quality of climbing. Other peaks in this list include Mt. Russell, Middle Palisade, Thunderbolt Peak, and Cathedral Peak, to name a few.
HIGH SIERRA TIP: If you don't want your next vacation' outdoors project be ruined by bad weather, High Sierra is the place to go - the climate is most stable - sunny, sunny, sunny that is! The color of intense pure blue skies never stopped amusing us (even after one month spent here ). Rich choice of outdoor' activities from simple walk hand-in-hand to backpacking to extreme alpinism - the guide book lists more than 500 of them. 103 hikes anybody? 8)
前一天同时去了Liberty Cap和Broderick，按照博士的风格，下一个就会选择相对距离、难度等小一些的，这样调剂着登山的节奏，有张有弛，人就不会过劳。因此，我们先在Valley早餐、上网，午后前去40多英里外的Tuolumne Vis Ctr。他到底要带我去什么地方呢？因为快要傍晚了。我心下存疑，但是，不用问，反正到时候就知道了。
