Weekend trip to Desolation Wilderness.
After meeting up with my friends at Lake Aloha and setting up camp, we climbed Ralston Peak.
On day 2, we went around the south side of the lake and climbed up the side of Pyramid until we reached the summit trail.
We submitted Pyramid Peak and continued along the Crystal Range Traverse, we went over the sketchy class 3/4 area just below Pyramid and continued along the ridge to Peak 9686, Mt Agassiz, and Price. Then we descended down the saddle at sunset to connect up with the PCT and got back to camp at 11pm. The entire loop took about 12 hours.
