The unimpressively round summit of Cameron (left) and the more interesting Lincoln (right), as seen from Mt. Bross.

The trail over to Lincoln was a little bit exposed. Just a guess, but that has to be at least 2000 feet down.

My truck is somewhere waaaaay down there below the tarn.

We would later have to slide down the scree slope to the right, when coming down from Bross (the hump at top-center). By far the worst, most exhausting part of the whole hike. It's not a bad view, but it's probably more enjoyable to hike back along the ridge to the main trail at the Democrat/Cameron saddle.

Alpine lakes across the valley from Cameron. I believe Quandary Peak is in there somewhere, or possibly out of frame to the right.

On the way up Mt. Democrat. On the way back down, right about in this spot, I caught my heel between two of these blade-like rocks, and fell down on my shins and palms, shredding all four and tearing two holes in the legs of my new hiking pants. On the bright side, the moon was awfully pretty.

We weren't even up Mt. Democrat yet, and I was already dreading having to come back down and then up again to the next peak. And then on to Lincoln, which is hidden behind Cameron. It wasn't nearly as bad as it looks, though.
