Ed warned us that we would have to cross a creek of freezing snow melt and so we did... in our snow shoes. Yeah!

Looking into Big Basin... Idaho is beautiful!
Yes we all have the same sunglasses its because we are all experienced mountaineers! Julbo Explorer glacier glasses are the only way to climb.

The next morning heading up toward the summit of Old Hyndman.
1500' later where we decided to turn back because of white out conditions where we couldn't tell up from down or left from right because of the clouds and snow rolling in. We made the right decision and now we will have an opportunity to come back to climb in this beautiful area again during the summer months with slightly less snow.
