Write Up:
Coordinator: Kevin Mikelson A group of eight of us left the Logan Pass parking lot at 8:30 a.m. on a perfect day for climbing. This was nearly everyone's first ascent up Mount Reynolds and the North Face Diagonal route. A nice breeze (gale force wind?) kept us cool the entire ascent. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch at the summit, then quickly descended the south scree slope. On the trail back to the Hidden Lake boardwalk we encountered a herd of mountain goats on a snow field that weren't interested in giving us the trail. After skirting around them, we made it back to the parking lot for an impromptu tailgate party and a couple of hours of socializing. All in all, another amazing day of climbing in Glacier! Doug Thorsen, Sheila Bowley-Krause, Grant Hnetka, Kevin Mikelson, Danielle Beach, Ken Nielson, David King and Jason Wilkes.
