Took advantage of some great December weather to climb the south ridge with Sawtooth Sean. Great views and scrambling up a steep gully were highlights. Trip Report
Actually it wasn't that warm, but downright hot for LRR in Dec. SuperDave and I had a great sunny, nearly windless day ascending the South ridge. Just under the summit we took a direct route through some rock gulleys just to spice it up a bit. Good times.
Winter ascent in t-shirts? Date Climbed: Jan 17, 2009
Can you still call it a winter ascent if you wore a t-shirt and no gloves?
Not a lot of snow, but a crystal-clear day with awesome views of Lemhis, Lost Rivers, White Clouds, Pioneers, and more of high Idaho. Sweet!
