| There were some girls having a birthday party in the Section House, so Shaylee decided to stay with them after they invited her to come. Kim, Kessler and I decided to climb Madonna Dome, a 12,331’ (3759 meter) peak west of Boreas Pass. With snowshoes we made it to Point 12,027 and enjoyed the views from there. The winds were high and it was cold, but the winds weren’t as strong as the day before on Boreas Mountain. After Point 12,027, the rest of the route to Madonna Dome was blown clean of snow and we ditched our snowshoes. We climbed down to the saddle and up the steep slopes to the summit of Madonna Dome. It was windy, but we found shelter behind a snow bank and ate lunch there before returning down the mountain. The views were great and once again we regretted not having the camera. | |

| Leisurely hike to the top afforded some great views of the higher peaks in the area. I had missed this one because it is unnamed on the topo maps back in the day when I did the Hoosier Ridge traverse. The mine shaft is interesting to look at but would be a bad deal to slip and fall into. I wonder if it is covered with snow during the winter? | |

| Were able to drive almost 4 miles past the Boreas Pass winter closure gate (unexpected) so we added this little sidetrip on to our hike of Boreas Mountain. | |

| chicagotransplant | Tour de Boreas Pass Date Climbed: Sep 28, 2008 | |
| Climbed solo, after an out an back traverse of Boreas and PT 12700B to the east it was then on to "Madonna Dome" on the west side of the pass. Breezy and cool, but a nice clear morning. Lots of "leaf peepers" on the road out, slow drive with all the traffic! | |

| I enjoyed this Labor Day hike with my husband and three dogs (Lady, Bing & Lela). The first crisp hints of fall were in the air. We ran into a man who had recently received a liver transplant, and was rightly proud of himself for summitting that day. We also chatted with some other Air Force folks. Otherwise, the crowd stays behind at Pt 12,029. All we could hear was the wind. | |
