Lake Serene Hike - 11/19/00

Phil and I had made some very tentative plans to see if Mt. INdex was climbable from the Lake Serene side.  Becky talks about a bergshrund that is difficult to get around in late season and we figured we'd at least take a look at it.  Progress was amazingly slow given the new snow covering talus on the route around the lake so we quickly abandoned any plans to summit.
 

The moon is faintly visible above the Norwegian Buttresses.
 

Some intersting looking ice is beginning to form above Lake Serene.
 

Teresa really liked this picture so here it is.
 

This one too.  Teresa's way into macros.
 
 

We got back to the car just as it was getting dark.  Good thing we didn't go for the summit - we'd still be up there.
