Oakes Gulf - May 2, 2015

Great day up in Oakes Gulf with Scott.  Skinned up the ART to the summit of Mt. Monroe.  Technically, I skinned almost the whole way, but even with ski crampons, it was really steep.  Basically it felt like I was doing dips up the mountain.  Skied the Monroe snow field, then over to double barrel.  Skinned up Central, ate lunch and met up with Josh and Chad for a bit.  Then Scott and I head over to ski one of the three stooges before meeting back up with Josh and Chad and descending Monroe Brook - all the way to the car!  Took a bit of video but no video editing software at the moment so just pictures for now.  Enjoy!

Looking into Oakes Gulf from the top of Double Barrel.  The three stooges are the chutes between the rocks in the middle.

Lots of stuff to dry out!
