LVMC: Thimble (3x) and Winters in Death Valley

Pics by Harlan W S + Jodie S
February 26, 2022

Jodie and I camped in the desert SW of Beatty the night before, so we wouldn't have to leave LV at 5AM! On Feb 26, we met Laszlo, Joel, and Laura, then set off on the Titus Canyon Rd to climb Thimble. We planned to climb Chloride that afternoon, but car issues caused us to skip and go to Echo Canyon, where we camped. On Feb 27 we went up Winters. A nice mellow weekend.
