Route Climbed: Southwest ridge thru chicken out Date Climbed: April 13-14 2001  Sucess!

My Friend Doug and I - This was our First real Snow climb other than Diamond Peak, Id. The snow was great. The mountain looked so awesome covered in its white blanket. Used Snow shoes from the parking lot up to the start of chicken out ridge where we setup base camp. It snowed 4-6 inches overnight but not a big deal. Saturday morning woke up early (5am) and hit the snow at 6am . The sun was just coming up and made for a wonderful sunrise. Snow shoed up chicken out ridge until just before the top where we switched over to crampons. Negotiating chicken out ridge was fun but must be careful and stay between that fine line between the Rock and the Cornices. The 2 couloirs where indeed challenging. We stayed on the ridge line to the top were we summited at 3pm. This was a beautiful sunny day and could see for miles. This climb was the toughest climb i have ever done due to the snow we had to work thru. By the time the day was over and we were back to the car we felt like laying down and die but thankful to our families we survived. This was a once in a lifetime adventure not to be repeated ....? Um maybe.....

I climbed this with a group of state-high-pointer friends. On the trip we also climbed Gannett Peak, Wyoming's high point. It was an uneventful day--just a long hike, but enjoyable.

I love to climb Borah. Its a tough hike but well worth it. Each time i climb it i do it faster and faster. Its not that tall but its a tough one. If you get a chance to climb borah, in the words of Tom Cruise "Go For It!"
