Another beautiful day in the San Juan mountains as Chris joined Ben and I for an ascent of Wham Ridge on Vestal peak.

Day one consisted of going over gear in the morning, hopping on the train, and hiking into Vestal basin to set up camp.
Day two was the money day. Up at 3:45 in the morning to start the hike up to the base and up we went as the sun started to rise in one of the most breathtaking sunrises I have seen this year.
Finally we reached the top only to make our way down, pack up camp, and hike out to catch the train.
Chris cruised as expected and it was a great trip.
