mounting the middle sister (almost)

the intent was to reach the summit of the middle sister. not everyone made it.
starting point


daniel and sydney at the first creek crossing. next time i'll have packs for my dogs too.


look at my face, way too much crap in my bag. turns out my old boots weren't going to do me any favors either. i'm home and the boots are in the trash


lobo


view on the way up, broken top


about halfway up to the camping spot, dogs already finding shade, my feet already hurting


not a bad place to make camp


all set up and ready for the canadian whiskey





dusk at the camp





illegal (but very careful and safe) campfire, but the dogs were wet and it was damn cold


dawn











middle sister peak at sunrise








here's why i couldn't summit. it was hard enough just getting back down


south sister


north sister


zola back down at the lower creak crossing

Wow Galen, incredible. This is now on my list of things I am going to do. So next time packs for dogs and blister kit, eh??! :-)
