Trip Report: The East Face of 13,595-Foot University Peak, CA

Report from May 15, 2025 I knew we wanted to start south this year in the Eastern Sierra, CA, but I didn’t make it here until May 10 due to a family issue. Even more reason to start in the south. Fox had just been down there to a zone I’d never been to and said it was special. I […]
