Just thinking of a trip I did up to Andrews Tarn with Fireman Jim on July 1st of 08 and found this picture of Jim's that shows me crossing the crux of the climb. It is the steep snow just below the Tarn and we had to get on the rock across the snow I was crossing:

That looks quite steep! And it's also a great picture!

I know that spot, but I've never had to cross snow there.

did you put on some yak trax or something for that bit, or just go with you regular hikers?

That was a good day for memories Ed! We'll be back out this summer after missing the Park for only the 2nd time since 1992 last year.

Here is a slideshow of the rest of the day with Ed: A Stroll in the Park with Igloo Ed
