I'm enjoying this one Tarbuster. Thanks for taking us along. Those ankle breakers give me the willies.

Tar, I spent some time up on Georgia Pass while on the safety crew for the Colorado Relay. I looked up at Guyot, but never really had a hankering to climb it. Maybe now we'll head up there one of these days; it looks like my kind of climbing at this point.

Tar,

Nice TR.

I'm seeing lots of launch locations for a tandem paraglider. Sipping beers at the LZ in minutes!

Very cool.

New camera GoatBoy?
Nah ... you know how I roll.
Just that same old handy dandy Kodak Brownie:

Damn straight Local.
You drive right up next to the mountain.

Lisa was in that Colorado Relay but didn't run this particular leg.
We were quite surprised to see how well maintained the road was all the way on up to Georgia Pass.

Man that is a PILE.. LOL

I still love the high places though, even when they are piles.

Sweet.
I've only perused the books a tad on that one and wasn't aware of the opportunity toward a serrated extravaganza.

Nearing the end of the traverse,
We lingered high upon our volcanic aerie, mesmerized and enthralled with the sheer wonder of this spacious enclosure: a living work of art.

(and please ya’ll… refrain any from handy wisecracks about ‘Ole Guyot resembling naught but a mondo gravel pit !!!)

Tar & Lisa: The day looks like a “choss-aholics” dream of going to “choss heaven.”

I can read the report and eyeball the photos: then feel the loose slabs tilting and clunking, as you balance your ways over them.

Great times and a fun report!

If you ever visit Idaho-------we’ve got lots more of that terrain for you.
