Mt. Steurt


I have been meaning to do this one fora while.  This mountain was actually pretty scary for me... it was just a scramble but there was more than a few parts where it was pretty exposed, the really fun part was the last 50 feet or so, a traverse along the very top to the summit and on either side a a sheer drop.  egads.  I don't actually do that well with heights, mostly because i actually think about what it might feel like to smash into rocks while falling really fast... can't be pretty.  So anyway, I was terrified!  As you can see from the picture below.  Oh, and that mountain is just a stack of boulders, I don't know what is holding them together..... or keeping them from sliding off the other boulders while i am climbing on one of them.  Hmm, I am informed that this is only a moderately difficult mountain... makes me feel like a sissy....  but also makes me really, excited to climb another.  I think that this is waaay fun!


Shera and marmot have conquered the beast!  There he is.... now just a pussy cat. Hooray for Lindsay, I'd never be climbing mountains if it weren't for her!  Plus, she is  super alpine cook!
