Eldorado East Ridge
31 August - 2 September 2001:
No Myth

Cascade Pass, with Johannesburg obscured by evil rolling in.

We made a beautiful (what we could see of it) bivy site at 9pm and immediately collapsed after eating a bagel and drinking whatever water we still had on us. We briefly discussed plans for the next day, which consisted of either moving up to high camp around 7400' on the Inspiration Glacier, or possibly continuing up the East Ridge to the summit and bringing it all back down (as far as possible).

Of course, Mother Nature had some ideas about all of this.
