Two of us completed a successful first ascent of the Basin to Tom Traverse on 6/25-6/27/16: This is an extremely beautiful route which dominates the Bishop skyline, traversing every single peak around the Horton Lakes basin. On day 1, we started from 4,800 ft and climbed to the summit of Basin Mountain via East Couloir (class 4+) and camped at a notch (~13,000 ft) right below the summit. The next day both of us woke up with mild altitude sickness, but continued anyway, climbing the scary, fun, and wildly exposed east ridge of South Basin (class 5.4). Eventually the physical effort just became a pure suffer fest, and we only made it to Four Gables by the second day, camping on the 12,700 ft summit plateau. We woke up the third day to downclimb a 1,000 ft couloir and ascend Mt. Tom, then proceeded to descend Tom's north ridge, arriving back at our starting point at ~10:20pm.

Difficulty: V+, 5.4
Stats: ~26 miles 13,000 ft gain
