"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

SE RouteExtremely beautiful area, but I understand why it's rarely climbed!

One Day Attempt2 of our party of 4 made it to the summit. I turned around just above 7000 feet, for two reasons. 1) I was moving too slow to make the summit and get out before dark. 2) I was scared by all the loose rock. This peak has a long, horribly loose approach. Beyond the end of the trail it's loose terrain the rest of the way.

Southeast RouteAn interesting and varied climb up a seldem climbed peak. We were in a white-out on the descent and had to drop to Tomyhoi Lake to find a trail. Do not underestimate the approach.

American Border Peak Southeast RouteIt was a fun climb but rockfall was a serious hazard...I almost got hit in the face by a rock the size of a computer monitor!
