Ascent of D.O. Lee Peak on 2010-07-26| Others in Party: | Carrie----Only Party on Mountain | | Date: | Monday, July 26, 2010 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | D.O. Lee Peak | | Location: | USA-Idaho | | Elevation: | 11342 ft / 3457 m |
Ascent Trip ReportCarrie stayed back when we got to the last scramble section of the climb, she sat below and watched as I went up. There was a large cornice that was blocking normal route at the very end, went to the very top of of the class 3 ridge just above it to make the summit. A little more difficult to descend that way but very do-able. Carrie and I heard the cornice come crashing down roughly 10 minutes after descending the bottom of the peak heading towards WCP 9.
