An incredible but long traverse across the Lost River Range. The ascent from the north side was fairly pleasant. It had meadows and a forest and the slopes were pleasant. Lots of mosquitos though. The actual traverse was a pleasant class 2/3 for most of it. For the timid there would be a couple moves of class 3 that would get your attention. The descent from Invisible Peak from the saddle is actually the most miserable part. It is a lengthy bushwhack. It took about 3 hours to navigate the down, far longer than we expected.
