Umpleby
Bell Mountain to Umpleby Traverse.
The following information, photos and map were supplied by Earl McAlister. This covers a fine new route not in the book .
Just sending you the info you wanted, with a bunch of pictures. We started in Bassinger canyon, ascended Bell's West face route, descended it's East Face (a little tricky in places), walked the North ridge of Bell to Umpleby. We climbed it's Southwest ridge/face, which is class 2. Just a talus walk. After that we descended one of the gullies I have pictured on Umpleby's Northwest face. We then walked up the ridge to The Knoll and descended it's West face back to Bassinger canyon. It was a great day in the Lemhis. Sorry the pictures aren't very good quality, I had to scan them as I didn't have my digital with me. I've also included a map and a couple pictures you might be interested in. Ross Peak and Shadow Lake Peak from a trip last summer. Anyway, if you need more information, just let me know.
