Write Up:
Coordinator: Jer Lundgren This season’s Vertical Tune-up found eleven folks taking their chances with the weather forecast and finding they made the right call. The forecast was threatening enough that a few people decided not to make the drive to Stone Hill. Those that did were rewarded with a great day of climbing. We went to an area we had not visited with the GMS group before, Moriah’s Ledge. It is a beautiful area just a short hike below the road; ledges and cliffs with a great view of Lake Koocanusa. The climbing offered something for everyone, with a nice range of ratings and challenges. GMS members included Rod Graham, Jim Foster, John Barnes, Don Arthur, Dennis Bonawitz, Carly Putman, Jesse Manning, Tim Anderson, Alice Ford, Jer Lundgren, and guest Jimmy Foster.
