Finally back for the second attempt. This time I made it, and was rather amused when I figured out I stopped 15 minutes from the top the first time. It was a beautiful day, especially once the smoke blew out of the valleys on either side of the Lemhi range. This mountain is a bundle of fun to climb, and looks really intimidating from below the scramble. But it's pleasant and only mildly challenging once you're on it. Surprisingly, I was the only one on the mountain the whole day; shocking due to how short this one is, it's relatively easy access to Idaho Falls, and the sheer greatness of the weather. Maybe the thunderstorms or smoke of the previous day scared some people off?

Two twelvers left!
