Second Chance?




Well, the clock is ticking for a second attempt for the summit of this mountain. My friend, Stefan, (back row, second from right) is accompaning his Dad, (Back row,center) in attempting one of his final peaks of the State Highpoints. Quite an achievement! We were turned back in June several years ago due to high avalanche potential. In fact, a bad accident befell several rope teams which passed us while we took a break at the berschrund. So, we'll try it again soon! Can you guess which mountain we are on?
Hint: Western US, second most climbed mountain in the world.
