Big Sky Cairn

I’m too young to remember the last time there was a major fire on Mount Sentinel - when the entire north face burned. And I’m also surprised that it’s been so long considering how dry it gets and how much traffic there is.

It was strange watching the fire yesterday, and I have to admit, I’m a little frustrated. I’m training for a climb in August and a big part of the training regime was climbing up to the wind-sock two or three times a week. Now I’m going to have to find a new trail with some serious vertical…

Any suggestions?

Kootenai canyon.

Stuart Peak… tough one to do a few times a week though. It makes for a full day.
