- Took this tour four years ago, and decided to go again last weekend (August 2nd 2024) as I remember it a good one to get back in shape. This time took it with some friends, including @YongsungKim who also made a video about it: • Tower Peak Backpacking...
The approach is quite long and the first 10 miles or so are through the forrest with some limited views, but after Paiute Meadows it becomes quite nice, and the views become spectacular.
As last time, returned via Sister lakes for some variation.
What a fantastic adventure!
Was quite a nice tour - thx !
Amazing! Congrats 🤗
Thank you!! 😊
Rad man, you have been getting after it! Do you think this mountain truly marks the end of the high sierra?
thx - and actually yes for the second question - one can see geologic difference right north of it - it goes from white granite to red volcanic rock. Not to say the peaks are less interesting or nice - but they are just different :)
Hell yeah love the video! I'm going in a few days, how's the exposure on the climb?
thx - there is no much exposure at all - the slope on the final climb is 45-50º - with just a couple o short places where it is really class three.
I watched your other video on tower peak, and it seemed to take you longer this video to complete the trail; why is that? Is two days enough?
Yep it took longer this time - about 25% longer - I was pretty out of shape and also that was 4 years ago - for what that counts. I think two days should be enough. Will see again in four years how it goes :)
@@kalimachios Thank you! Also, do you think it is possible to summit on the first day before nightfall?
@@Dylan-li4nb It is long and strenuous - but if you are in good shape, and yf you are at the tail of the Tower lake by, say 2-3pm - and the day is long (ie summer) w/ good weather, totally possible.
@@kalimachios Thank you, and one last question; where did you pick up your permit?
@@Dylan-li4nb I printed it at home after the reservation on recreation.gov - plenty of spots from Leavitt Meadow
