"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

So I Did - It Again - That is20jul10 - I took my friend Jim Greenfield with me to the summit this time. We did find a slightly better route which eliminated most of the worst bushwhacking -- that was a treat? But this is still one of the most difficult (as far as effor required) summits to reach in the Bitterroots. If you've got the stamina, I recommend going for it. You won't be dissapointed.
31jul08 - Though this is one of the nicest peaks in the Bitterroot Mountains and has arguably some of the best views plus a superb wilderness experience, getting to the summit requires the worst bushwhack I've run across in the Bitterroots. Still, I'd do it again!
