Scrambling Little Annapurna
August 4, 2007
With our friend Andrew, we headed out on a one-day climb of Little Annapurna (8,440 feet), which is nestled in the Upper Enchantment Lakes. The route is roughly 17 miles long, with over 5,000 feet of elevation gain, so we were all pretty zombie-like by the time we made it back to the trailhead.

Just before we started up Little Annapurna, we were treated to a view of a baby mountain goat and a momma.

Eric and Andrew pause for a photo on the descent of Little Annapurna.
Making his way back through the Upper Enchantment Basin, Eric is tired. He is ready for a burger and bed.
It's late afternoon now, looking back down Asgaard Pass to Colchuck Lake.
