Mt. Humphries, East Arete  with Dave Coombs  July 89

Just W of Bishop, the Z got us to 8500' on a dirt road
which featured a stream crossing.  Went to sleep at
6pm that night at an 11000' lake.  Up at dawn to deal with scree slopes,
gullies, and 4th class arete sections.  Summit 12986' at 2:30pm, "screed"
down quickly and stresslessly; reached the Z before dark for crucial daylight
manuvering past the rough spots.  Dave and family (1.8 kids) are heading for
Spokane in September, so I was kind of a last shot with him unless I get into
more mountaineering.  My use of Dave's Swede-O ankle brace saved me.
