first creek crossing deadly coming down it's confusing because there are two creek crossings View from Mt Jepson, Eastern Sierra
  • Mt Jepson 4081 see Mt Sill If you are coming up, turn left at the meadow/swamp and stay on the left side. It's easy class-1 for at least one hour. Then it becomes class-2 but the chute is so broad that you can always find good terrain. After you pass the notch the chute is still broad, but the snow took most of the space. About 20 minutes later, it is better to stay on the ridge. Then it's again a very broad face and this time with zero snow, BUT it gets steeper and steeper (like the curve of a scimitar). I'll post the pictures tomorrow.
