Somehow I managed to convince myself that there was a class 3 route up the right side of the Conness Glacier. Nope. :)
Little before 6am at the Saddlebag Trailhead. Lots of cars in the parking lot this morning.

Bob welcoming everyone to the 2004 Sierra Challange. Most of the group headed past the lake up to North Peak. A smaller group headed east to the class 2-3 route to Conness. I headed up toward Conness Peaks to what I thought was a class 3 route (and turned out to be a figment of my imagination)

Another shot of the Conness Lake before I headed up the tedious talus on the right side of the waterfall.
