After a change in plans due to weather, the boys (Donn, Chad, Nate, and I) decided to head to Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains. Where the weather is always perfect! We had a great week, tagged a few summits, and enjoyed time in a beautiful environment. Some days were big. A nine hour push up Mt. Heyburn and a 12.5 hour day on Finger of Fate. Warbonnet Peak found the four of us in an alpine cirque all to ourselves with a sunset to beat all the evening after our summit. It certainly made our aching feet and hands a little more bearable (the whiskey helped, too).
All in all a fantastic "concession" to our earlier plans, with plenty more to do in the future.

This trip and the photos give the best account of what it is for you to be climbing to the rest of us flatlanders. The angles of photos, the mountain panorama, the mix of players in the photos, and how you display the incredible physical requirements to climb these mountains and the achievements of your climbing partners is excellent for me. Your descriptions are also helpful in getting the feel of just how difficult this climbing can be. Just beautiful to my mind.
