San Joaquin Mountain, Eastern Sierra (HPS)

Left the family in Mammoth for a quick summit via the Minarets Lookout. A very pleasant jaunt with views down on Ritter, Banner, and the entire Ansel Adams wilderness. Dropped northeast after the false-summit of Two Teats, which I kindly declined to climb, for the true summit of San Juaquin, where I enjoyed a well-earned pastry purchased for that very purpose.

…it’s the little things.
