NOBO JMT 2018 (3) --- Crabtree Meadow to Painted Lady

7/24
5:30起き、ゆっくりして7:30出発、Sandy Meadowの北の峠10:00、テントを広げて乾かす。
I woke up at 5:30. relaxed, started to hike at 7:30.  I dried the tent at the pass on the north of Sandy Meadow.



Mt.Whitney

Wallace Creekで昼食。少し進んだ場所で、2時過ぎか、三人のハイカーと会って立ち話、水場を聞かれたのが切っ掛け。Shroomerの話をすると、近所に住んでいるという。中央がMichael Hofmayer, trail nameはPan Tiltということだった。左の人がセクションハイカーで、今回でJMTのスルーが完成するという。

Lunch at Wallace Creek. I met 3 hikers on the north of the creek at 14:00. A hiker asked me the water.  I talked about Shroomer, then he said he was living near Shroomer. His name was Michael Hofmayer, his trail name was Pan Tilt(center). The left guy was a section hiker of JMT, and this was his last section.


天気は下り坂。真っ平らな所で雷に遭いたくなかった。幸い、雷は大丈夫だった。
The weather was not good. I don't want to encounter thunder in the flat place. Fortunately, it did not come.

Bighorn Plateau

Tyndall Creekは水量が少なく簡単に渡れた。林の中にテント設営16:00。水を確保してテントに入ると、16:30から激しい雷雨。
The crossing of Tyndall Creek was easy because the water level was low. I pitched my tent in the forest at 16:00. I get enough water, then the heavy thunderstorm began at 16:30.

実はイグナイターのみしか持参せず、高度の関係で着火確率が下がって困っていた。ガスを集めれば着火するはずと、漏斗状の物を取り付けた。これで確実に着火するようになった。
To tell the truth, I had only an igniter. Contrary to my expectation, it did not work well due to the altitude. But I realized that if enough gas was collected, the fire began. Then I made a small funnel which was attached to the igniter. Now it worked well.

現在は本物の漏斗を取り付けて100%の着火率。ライターは持たない。
I made this after this JMT hiking. It works efficiently. Then, I stop to have a lighter. 

7/25
4:30起き、6:00出発。昨年、Forester越えで雷雨になったので、午前中には越えたい。Pass 11:30、lunch。幸い、天気は良かった。Junction Peak直下の池でカメラを持っている重装備の人と会う。テント場はいつものBubbs Creekの場所。曇っていたが、カンカン照りになり、夕食後、木陰に引っ越した。

I woke at 4:30, starting at 6:00. I wanted to go beyond Forester Pass because I had encountered a heavy thunderstorm last summer. I reached the Pass at 11:30. Fortunately, the weather was fine. I met a guy who had a heavy DSLR camera at the small lake under Junction Peak. I pitched my tent at the usual place along Bubbs Creek. It was cloudy, but it became fine. I moved my tent under the shadow of a tree.

7/26
6:15出発。天気は比較的落ち着いていた。Bullfrog Trail junction 10:30、lunch. 普通の人はここで補給に下りるが、スイッチバックを登り、Charlotte Lake Trail junctionへ。 Glen Passは13:40、雷は離れた場所で、大丈夫だった。Rae Lake、15:30。 激しい雷雨が始まり、急遽、Painted Lady の正面にテント設営。もう一時間ほど歩く予定だったが、とんでもない状況。

I started to hike at 6:15. The weather was stable. I took lunch at Bullfrog Trail junction at 10:30. Many hikers went to Kearsarge Pass for resupplies. I climbed the switchbacks and arrived at Charlotte Lake Trail junction. I was at Glen Pass at 13:40. I heard the thunder at a little remote place. I arrived at Rae Lake 15:30. The heavy thunderstorm began. I immediately pitched my tent in front of the Painted Lady. I wanted to walk one more hour. but it was impossible.
