Sierra Nevada 2016 – short

Our team returned from a mountaineering trip in High Sierra, the Evolution Group, in California. We climbed Mt Haeckel, 13,418 ft / 4,090 m, E Ridge, Picture peak, 13,120 ft / 3,999 m, W ridge, and Mt. Darwin, 13,831 ft / 4,216 m, Darwin Glacier and West Ridge. Mt Darwin appeared to be more difficult than expected due to snow and ice conditions. The team included Dima Onoprienko (Mountain View, CA), Igor Startsev (VA), Denis Grishin, Simon Grishin (both NJ), and Alexander Bukreyev (Houston). We will make a trip report.
