Altered Upper McCloud Falls
13.05.06  Ridge walking on Bealach Garbh-choire - Sgurr nan Eag above Loch Coir a Ghrunnda.
At 7AM the water is like glass and the Clark's Nutcrackers are raucously talking to one another. It feels like another day in Paradise...
After 3 hours of thinking "well, the pass HAS to be over that crest" and being fooled again and again, the trail turns into a mixture of rock, snow and ice.  The red color of the snow is from lichen; life clings to even the most inhospitable of places. This is the view from the top of the pass looking east.
A roiling, boiling creek from one of the pass tarns tumbles its way down to the main creek in French Canyon.
Which exposure, this one or…
This should be Bukit Tabur East side - shot from halfway.
