14er

Middle Palisade

Middle Palisade

Standing 14,019′ tall, Middle Palisade sits in the center of the highest continuous ridge along the Sierra Crest. With grueling terrain and deceiving metrics, this mountain climb was surprisingly more challenging than expected. Cross country navigation, high streams, a glacier crossing, and thousands of feet of exposed rock scrambling, at high altitude, made for a serious commitment.

Mount Langley

Mount Langley

Mt. Langley rises 14,032' (4277m) above sea level in the crest of the Sierra Nevada. It is the ninth highest peak in the state and the seventh highest in the Sierra. Langley is often regarded as one of the easier 14ers to ascend, but hey that's sort of an oxymoron!
