Caption: 5 days, 3 routes This was our first time hiking through the enchantments and climbing Prusik. We spent 5 days camping at Lake Vivian and climbed 3 different routes.
Definitely a beautiful area and a wall worth visiting if you're up for the approach.

The approach took much longer than we had hoped due to our heavy packs.

Caption: We packed food for 4 days and underestimated the approach hike.
We hiked out on day 5, sharing a Macro Bar, a quarter bar of chocolate, and some tea.
Fun trip but definitely exhausting.
We've got our eyes on Solid Gold for next time.
If you haven't hiked through the enchantments, go do it!
