I really like both the photos and the writing. I climbed Borah Peak 24 years ago without even knowing the name of Chicken Out Ridge. It was early March and I learned many things about what to do and not do on a climb such as that. The film in my camera was not advancing and I didn't find out until I got back to the car (at the main highway). But it was still a very memorable experience. Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane! Oh, and needless to say, I can relate to what it is like having the summit to yourself. Good job!
Thank you very much! I glad you enjoyed my report so much. Hopefully someday you'll be able to make it back to Borah! It's not very often that you get the summit of Borah to yourself but I'm assuming since you climbed it in March that you did. Once again, thanks for reading!

Breathtaking picturesThose are some of the most fantastic pictures of Borah I've seen. Great job! Very informative, too. It's tough to see good pictures of COR.
