Eichorn Minaret

USA / California / Mammoth Lakes /

Elevation 12,255 feet.
Class 4.
Although the second highest, Eichorn Minaret isn't very "minaret-like."
It is the really just the highpoint along the ridge extending west from Clyde Minaret.
The traverse between the two is the easiest route, and a fine climb. Drop low on the southeast side as you approach Eichorn to avoid class 5 along the jagged ridgeline.
It is also class 4 from the Portal.
