I was supposed to go up the gulley in the center of the picture. I went up the one to the left of that, because I missed the turn. Backtracking was naturally out of the question.

The peak is in the clouds here, but they cleared out before I got there.

I walked up that road on the far side of the lake. It's famous for being impassable to most vehicles.

This is closer, but I think the route is to the left of this picture.
