Slideshow and Potluck: Climbing Gannet Peak in the Wind

Thursday, Dec 1, 2011
6:30 Potluck, 7:15 pm Slideshow
AMC Cabot Auditorium, 4 Joy St, Boston MA

The Wind River Range is a remote mountain range running along the
crest of the Continental Divide in western Wyoming. This climbers' and
backpackers' paradise contains dozens of summits over 13,000 feet,
many of the largest glaciers in the Rockies, and hundreds of
shimmering alpine lakes nestling amid boulder strewn meadows.

13,800 foot high Gannett Peak, the highest summit in the Winds, is
also the high-point of the state of Wyoming and is the most remot
state high-point in the United States. This summer, Gokul Gopal spent
a week in the Winds, with the primary objective of climbing Gannett
Peak, but also hoping to experience more of what the Winds have to
offer: spectacular backpacking and rock climbing opportunities far
from tourist throngs. In this hour-long slideshow, Gokul will share
some of his pictures and memories from this trip, along with some
useful background information about the Wind River Range.
