Conception

"The mountains are calling and I must go." - John Muir

Approximate Locations of Mt. Williamson and Mt. Tyndall

On July 22, 2013, Tess and Nu heard two mountains calling: Mt. Williamson and Mt. Tyndall. Situated in the great Sierra Nevada range, standing 14,379 and 14,025 feet respectively, these two beauties rise from the Owens Valley, approximately four hours north of Los Angeles.

Though not as famous as their parent peak barely ten miles to the south (Mt. Whitney), Mt. Willy and Mt. Tilly are not to be taken all willy nilly. This blog will chronicle the conception, planning, training, approach, and attempt.
