| Of all the mountains I've ever climbed, this one blew me away the most--one of those summit views that simply won't quit! As far as you can see in any direction: mountains, mountains, mountains--huge mountains--a sea of monstrous peaks! Wow! On this day Glacier National Park ruled the world!
The climb was with the Glacier Mountaineering Society, it was a perfect day for the first three-fourths of it, and then weather moved in quite rapidly, but--most unusual for Glacier--just cold and chill and clouds, with no wind and precipitation. Definitely a front creeping silently in on fingers of fog! So the trek out was in the clouds on Cut Bank and Pitamakan Passes, then just a cloudy, cold descent. No matter. It was an absolutely wonderful day! |
