August, 28, 1996 Wednesday Alt, 10,270 ft.
Reaching Lower Lamarck Lake. Jan and Hong-Nian on the boulders near the trail. Photo from across lower end of the lake. Hiked only 3 hours but legs feel like rubber. Gained about 1340 ft with 800 ft/hr the max ascent rate. Air temperature was about 64 deg. Hardly any wind, prefect hiking, at least as good as it gets the first day with a 60 pound pack. Jan feeling some altitude sickness, but the rest of us are OK.
