Write Up:
What a day for a walk in the Park. A beautiful Fall morning as we headed out of Cutbank's trail head, 50+ degrees and clear blue skys. At a fast pace, we reached Triple Divide Pass. The eastside wind caught up to us, and the weather started deterating fast. Half the group went up the face of Triple Divide Pk and the other around through the gully to the east. We regrouped on the summit of Triple Divide Pk in high winds and soon took of for Norris. We scrambled up the east face thought broken cliffs to the summit, but didn't dtay long as the rain/sleet started pelting us with the help of the wind. We took shelter and had some lunch in the saddle. Then it was back to the trailhead and some refreshments, a quick climb with a good group of GMS's. Participants were Stephen Smith, Laurel Vielle, Rich Brilles, David Koel, Casey Dunn, Matt Marcinek, Dell Meuchel, John VanArendonk, and Frank Wesolovski. 18.74 miles, 4051' elev, 8:39 hr r/t
