seanpeckham  > 2007 Hikes, Climbs, Camping Trips, and Vacations > 2007 08 11 Dromedary solo loop
I left the S-turn trailhead at around 8 or 8:30 AM and headed up Broads Fork. Stopping briefly for sunscreen application, snacks, and water filtering (well, that is not so brief with my slow pump), I reached the summit of Dromedary around 1:40 pm by way of Tanners saddle and the south face. There was almost zero snow in Broads Fork, which is unusual even in August, so it was talus-hopping the whole way. The last push to the saddle was quite steep and devoid of sturdy talus, requiring me to dig my fingernails into the dirt and almost crawl up, grabbing onto holds on the gully walls where possible. The south face was much sturdier and a fun scramble. To make a loop of the trip, I descended the northeast face, and part of the north ridge, which were both also loose. A great trip, but it was sad to see the effects of a poor winter.
