I like how you include your worries as well as the accomplishments. Nice job brother! That is a big summit, and a good one to ahve on your resume. Great pics as usual!
This is a peak I have considered from time to time, and I hope to hit it one day after I get sick of peaks in the Sawtooths of Idaho. I will probably go alone as I have no physically fit friends (well they consider mountains crazy, while I consider treadmills crazy), so this was a good report for me to find. Thanks for the post. Hope you are doing well.
There is an established technical route on the north side of the mountain that is named Borah Borah Borah. I'm building a route page for it and wanted to mention it so as to not confuse anyone.
ROUTE NAME: Borah Borah Borah
DATE: Oct 2004
FA: Tim Ball (SMG), Brad Schilling (CIRO) Doug Colwell
RATING: (Grade III 5.7RX M3 WI3)
I just posted Psycho Therapy and now I'm going to build the Borah Borah Borah page. I wasn't even aware of this route until my friend Kevin sent me the description and photos. He's working on documenting the history of all of the routes on the mountain and I'm posting what he digs up. I guess he wants to dig every secret out of us old Idaho climbers before we forget what we've done or take our last 6 foot fall (whichever comes first. :-)

Re: Nice oneDean, I found your trip report of Borah useful and informative when I was making the plan to do it. To the both of you, I appreciate the comments.
