thank you for the good vote.

Yeah, the granite is pretty nice there. Amazing colors - the thing practically glows orange!

Ah now I see what you were doing over the Fourth! :- ) Already a 4 star page in my book. Why wait to vote?

Another good page, Radek. Now I definitely am going to buy a hat for the 1000pt party ;-)

Good selection near Warbonnet Pk. I think the pictures are attractive and keep the climbers attention. The red granite is particularly photogenic.

Here is a guess: The topozone might be this:

Another Excellent page. Very precise and correct information.

Wait for your return and a Finger of Fate page.

Hard to beat the Sawtooth's on a July weekend.

Nic,

Thank you again for hooking us up with the route topos (bot Mountee's route and Finger of Fate). Worked great!

Unfortunately, Finger did not happen for us on this trip. Yeah, the road to the upper TH WAS rough. THought I could "push" the rental car thru. but got it stuck (did not want to dish out the extra $$ for an SUV...should've). Will come back next year and drive our pick up down there.

The beta you, Dan, and I guess Sean provided was invaluable. I've included an acknowledgement section on the main page.

Radek,

Congrats on your climb! Excellent photos. Such a nice area.

Looks like a good page already, I'm voting now. Looking forward to the route report on the Mountaineer's Route, I route I'd like to do.

Thanks Martin.

Can't recommend the Sawtooths enough to you - you'd love the area. And it's not THAT far from Spokane. Mountee's Route was fairly mild. There were single moves in the 5.8 range but it was not sustained. Still a fun route. You should do it soon otherwise it'll be too mild to warrant a trip there (it already might be for you :).
