If anyone is going up to do Quandary, North Star, or Wheeler in the next week or 2, would you please take some pics of the Fletcher/Drift area? Thanks so much!

I'm seriously considering doing the west ridge of Quandary tomorrow. Any particular spots you want pictures of?

Mainly interested in top portions of Drift and Fletcher from the Blue Lakes side. Whatever you can get though would be helpful.

Incidentally I happened to walk through the monte cristo valley by accident on my approach to the west ridge, but it works out well for you because I was able to snap tons of pictures of the cirque around that valley up close. I'll post them later tonight/tomorrow once I'm able to pull pictures off the camera.

Thanks! And yes, your error is my gain! :D

I hope you had a great trip

Enjoy:



Here's a closer up pseudo-panorama (from left/south to right/north)





And a final view looking back at (I think) Fletcher's South and East flanks:
