Williamson and Tyndall 2013
In June 2013, I teamed up with a couple of partners to attempt two of California's highest peaks: 14,019-foot Mount Tyndall and14,375-foot Mount Williamson.

For me, the attempt would represent a step outside my comfort zone and give me a glimpse into the larger world of Sierra mountaineering.
