Early on a Tuesday morning, seven of us headed off the houseboat for the longest, hardest hike of the week. We all went up the "middle rib" and around to the Bell Tower Window. Two people returned from there, but the other five of us were afoot for 9:20, continuing all the way to the 4845' "Rincon" survey point southwest of the Rincon bowl.
