Evolution Traverse Talk
From CACWiki
The Evolution Traverse (5.9 VI), pioneered by Peter Croft, is widely considered the greatest of the Sierra ridge traverses. Including over 8 miles of technical terrain and nine peaks over 13000 ft., it dwarfs the coveted Palisade Traverse and is of mythical proportions.
On Tuesday, November 1, 8:15 pm Michelle Peot, who lives in Bishop, CA and works remotely for an internet search company, told us of her solo journey across the magnificent ridge that has thwarted so many other capable climbers. The Caltech Alpine Club hosted this event for free (no tickets required); there were food, drinks, good company, and an awesome talk!
