painful?

looks like that sharp shifting stuff that never really settles down & makes for miserable walking - or am I wrong :) ?

Re: painful?

Exactly right. With a backpack it's painful plus. Looks kinda pretty if you're not hiking on it, but otherwise it's the pits. Thanks for checking it out and voting.

Cheers,

Augie

Re: Love this!

Thanks Theron. When I saw that big rock pile it just grabbed my attention.

Re: Empire Mtn.

I honestly don't know. i just took the shot and never bothered to see if it is a named peak.

Re: Empire Mtn.

I don't think so.. I think this is to the east of Empire..

Looks like Empire

The peak east of Glacier Pass is Peak 11700+. I was on that peak (just west of Sawtooth Pass). I could be wrong, but my memory of looking at Empire Mtn. from Pk 11,700+ indicates that this is indeed Empire. No big thing, but it caught my eye.
Now that I think about it... When I did Pk 11,700+, it was from Sawtooth Pass, so I could be wrong here, and am looking that peak from the west... oh well, who knows? My claimb was about 25 years ago.
