22nd June

A mega day across Muir Pass – 3200ft of ascent then descent including plugging away across 3.5 miles of snowfields. Snowfields from late morning onwards are a slush-fest following boot track in an unfamiliar gait of length and tightrope foot positioning. Exhausting work.

Snow and sun cups.
John Muir Memorial Shelter inspired by the Italian Trullo Hut building tradition.
Marmot.

I stopped at the first tent site I found and collapsed into my quilt.
