Glen Pass (11,957')--I thought about attempting this the night before but some fellow hikers recommended that I should wait until the next morning to give the slushy snow a chance to freeze back up overnight, so I ended up camping about a mile below. With my micro spikes, although slow going, I was able to get up and over this one without too much trouble. Again, the descent on the north side had a lot more snow to contend with, but I also got to enjoy the view of the very Beautiful Rae Lakes on my way down.

Next up, I was going for Pinchot Pass, but I was pinned down by a thunderstorm that wanted to camp out on that particular pass all of that afternoon.

Because of the thunderstorm, I was only able to get 15 miles in that day.
