We went up Jacob's Ladder from Corner Canyon and Lone Rock.
This was a very difficult hike, mainly the Jacob's Ladder
section. At the top of Draper Ridge you can see the meadow
west of Lone Peak. We camped there, left our packs hiked into
the cirque, north to the ridge, up the trail to the granite
columns, met three other hikers, summited, met two more hikers,
then returned to the trail back. It was very hot and smoggy
everywhere we could see. I spilled water, so I knew I would
be dehydrated, I was right. Quite an epic adventure.
On the way down, we met an older gentleman that said he was feeling
his age,
I told him that I was feeling his age too.
Here's a picture of him on top of Lone Peak.
