Ascent of Borah Peak on 2009-07-26| Date: | Sunday, July 26, 2009 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Borah Peak | | Location: | USA-Idaho | | Elevation: | 12662 ft / 3859 m |
Ascent Trip ReportHit trailhead at 430am local time under headlamp, this allowed me enough time to be off the mountain before the afternoon thunderstorms kicked off. I arrived the prior day at around noon and found the mountain inundated in thunderstorms, so my plan was to be off the peak before that happened. On ascent I found that the short ice crossing at the crux of chicken out ridge was a little sketchy without an axe or crampons, but had softened to a near slush state on descent. |
