I’m back from a nice relaxing and sunburn filled trip to the Winds, Baptiste Lake and Mount Hooker. Through the power of the internet and some sleuthing, I believe we watched Pat Goodman and Dave Sharratt climb (or at least attempt to climb) the Boissonnneault-Larson or Third Eye route (VI 5.10+ A4) on Mount Hooker. It’s pretty impressive watching these rock jocks climb these big walls in such a remote and wilderness setting, and at one point we saw them take two falls trying to move right. Ballsy for sure!
Can you spot the climbers in this photo? Click photo for larger image.
Damn that is something else. What trailhead did you take I am not familiar with this area.
big sandy…head north.
How where the bugs? Headed to cirque of the towers tomorrow for a few days.
they were still there…and quite active in the afternoon until about 6-7pm. i was a bit surprised at how many were still around…and we were camped close to 11K’.
