Trip Report
Basic Alpine Climb - Mount Pershing: North Peak
The approach for Route-1 is a strenuous brush-whack. An alternative route into the Pershing Basin might be over Jefferson Ridge. The summit bid is more difficult than it appears. The summit block requires full rock gear with plenty of slings to be climbed safely. Plan on a very long day with the possibility of a overnight bivy.

We planned this trip for one day, but it took two. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to have stellar weather in October.
