Closure of the Spooky Meadows Trail turned this into a 30 mile backpack. Spent the night at 1000 Island Lakes. Woke up at 330 AM and reached North Galcier Pass at dawn. Wasted a lot of time scrambling over patches of ice without having crampons. From the pass it sa another 1.5 hrs of steep but solid talus to the summit. Great views of some of the deeper peaks in Yosemite, but plenty of smoke from the fires. Complete TR: http://www.themtsarecalling.com/davis
