Had to reset my GPS watch so I have two maps. You can see that I headed into the wrong bowl initially as I made a rookie navigational error. I was hiking to Frozen Lake Pass and I knew that the pass was to the left of the Vennacher Needle but I didn’t sight the needle with my compass. I visually mistook the peak above for Vennacher. Expensive mistake. It cost me a lot of time and energy as I had to hike down and then back up on steep boulders, ugh. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Went over Frozen Lake Pass and down many many large boulders on the other side leading to the John Muir Trail. I followed the trail up and over Mather Pass and continued on to the Lower Palisade Lake where I camped for the night. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On my way to Frozen Lake Pass. That peak in the middle is what I mistakenly thought was the Vennacher Needle. I ended up on the left side of that peak and when I realized my mistake I had to go around the base and hike up on the right side. Such a rookie move but I learned an important lesson, confirm your damn landmarks!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
