lakebagging
Some people are peakbaggers. They have a list of mountains to climb (Colorado fourteeners; the "seven summits"; etc) and they climb them.
Britt is a lakebagger. He wants to fish in every named lake in the Weminuche Wilderness. So last weekend, we backpacked into the area known as Mountain View Crest to bag four lakes: Ruby (one of many in the Weminuche), Emerald (ditto ditto), Webb, and Pear. I insisted on bagging a peak as well: Overlook Point, the high point (12,998) along Mountain View Crest. (Yes, it sounds like a subdivision. It's a ridge.)
The 360° view from Overlook Point (1 minute video, no audio, annotated):
( Story of our hike, 14 more photos including ELK!!! and links to the others. )
Or, go directly to the set (23 photos, 1 video) on Flickr.
