Anji & I decided to climb Copper Mountain today. As we were heading up towards the saddle, Copper West looked close, so we headed that way first. Well, it wasn't that close! The wind was blowing & it was freezing, but we had started that way, so we went all the way. Since Copper Mountain was our main objective, we traversed back across the saddle & made our way up there too. That one was easier & much more enjoyable than either of us was expecting. There was snow on all of the mountains around us - it was gorgeous!
