We were runout of our open sky camp at the base of Mt. Borah by mysquito's at 9pm. To escape we began our approach, leaving our sleeping bags in the SUV. 2/3 up Mt. Borah we bivouced, just above the tree line behind a wall someone made of old fallen trees. The wind was to fearce for mysquito's but they were their too. This is me eatting breakfast. My partner and I were expected in Mount Vernon, Washington that evening (about 800 miles). So if we were to get the summit in our day, we needed to start.

She did her first belay and her first lead here (7/29/05). Her brother is climbing. He lead Small Fry last year. Of course she thinks she's pretty cool. As long as they don't get the idea of doing this with out us I'll be fine. The guy in black bought them the belay plates. Parents aren't all that crazy about it. But everyone is still breathing.

Near the City of Rocks is a recently opened State Park here in Idaho. This photo shows a small portion of the old ranch that is now Castle Rock State Park. Their is plenty more climbing in Almo, Idaho.
