Our Own Pot of Gold | Climbing on the West Side of the Palisades

Blair, Bob, Doug and Mike joined Gonzalo and I for a four-day trip to the west side of the Palisades.  We ticked off some classic summits, just before weather moved in on our last night.  Lightning chased us out over Bishop Pass and back to the trailhead.
