How to climb North Palisade
"Five peaks over 14k what more can I say"
How I did it: We went up the North Fork of the Big Pine Creek. We camped the first night on the ridge above Sam Mack meadows. The second day we moved up to the glacier and did an acclimatization hike. The third day we started at 3 AM and did the palisade traverse from Thunderbolt to Sill. Spectacular.
Lessons & tips:
- Acclimatize
- Camp at the glacier
- Start early
