| More the high point of Two Medicine Pass rather than an actual summit, but nevertheless done en route to and from Grizzly Mountain. Bad winds going up, substantially increased coming down in the afternoon. For the first time in my life I think I experienced actual hurricane force winds—walking at a 45 degree angle, carefully placing each foot so as to brace it against a rock, and still at one point, for a brief second my legs were lifted out from under me, and I was airborne. VERY disconcerting, to say the least(!), and the only thing saving me was that my legs hit a protruding boulder. I was sooo glad to get off that pass! The wind was like something solid.... Wow!!! Two Medicine Pass has stunning views into the Nyack, and the incredible area around Mount Saint Nicholaswell worth the effort!!!! |
