Took a trip this past weekend to Upper Twin Lake in the Kaiser Wilderness. This area is located a bit past Huntington Lake and Sierra Summit Ski Area on Highway 168 east of Fresno.

It was only a 4 mile walk in over easy terrain at around 8,000 feet. It was a great chance to try out my new Neoair short, ULA Ohm pack, and MLD duomid with SMD Serenity Nettent. Everything performed great and I can't wait use it all on my upcoming JMT hike.

I definitely tested the weight carrying and comfort of the OHM with all my food and camera equipment and was very happy with the comfort and features.

Looking up at our afternoon objective. We picked our way through the boulder field at the base and found a route to the summit on the left side of the cleft.
