Great camera, has much more potential, it's just the shooter that is lacking . Takes a bit to get a DSLR dialed in.

    Well, you know I'm always down. Really want to get on Red Peak or Eagle's Nest soon. So many great lines off those peaks.

    Just awesome, I've always wanted to get into the Gore but something always seems to happen.
    Good work!

    Wow mang. I’ve always looked at those mountains on my way to the Williams Fork or when skiing off of Ute Pass and wondered “what’s up there”. Can’t wait to check it out. Thanks for the TR. Schweet pix and line.

    only done a bit of hiking in the summer but I really like the Gore Range as well. I was staring at them at them from Copper that same saturday wondering why I never see TR's of the Gores when they're so close to populated valleys. guess they just get overlooked like you said. Great pics and thanks for the TR.

    Funny since all three of us are educators. Clearly teachers have the power to do all sorts of crazy shit.

    Just gorgeous stuff. What a gift to have the physical stamina and joy and artistry to share that with those of us that don't easily dance at 13K. Thanks again.

    Yeah, pretty amazing that a peak in this part of the state hadn't been summitted until 4 years ago. The approach to the base of the peak is an 8-mile jaunt through the Upper Slate Lake basin. The peak has lot's of exposure and one of the narrowest and smallest summits around. I don't think you can fit more than two people on the summit at one time. "Airy" to say the least.

    Nice write up and photos (as usual).

    Your right on the AK feel. The gore range definitely has the steeps.

    I found a writeup on the 2002 Peak T first ascent here, complete with pictures of the summit obelisk. Interesting stuff, although it has me wondering if Mike Garratt might have done it earlier, since he completed the 12ers (named or ranked) in 1994, and it seems likely he'd have noticed there was a letter between S and U.

    Of course it was first summited by a white man. We all know white men are far more superior compared to purple people like you.

    Indians were never in that area before hardcore extremo mountaineers in pink pants.
