South Gemini Peak (Monte Cristo)  6/16/2004

We checked out the right Gully and we knew we were not going that way.  The
Old Town of Monte Cristo.  Columbia & Monte Cristo Pass half way up.

        
The Ridge opened up at 4400', and it was great traveling.  A traverse at 6300'.  First view of the summit
and it matched the route description.  On the face we spotted a goat trying to climb up, then down.

    
Jim leading out on the face and it looked easy but Beckey's Class 4 was really Class 5.3. Made
the summit with super views.  Ida Lake would be a worthy option to climb this and the other Peaks.
