Mt. Bierdstadt Revisited

Saturday, October 1st

Today, I climbed Mt. Bierstadt for the second time. My new friend, John Jost, accompanied me up Bierstadt and across the Sawtooth. I really love that hike. This time we stayed higher on the ridgeline initially and as a result, we saw a lot more cliff edges and climbing moves. Overall we had a pretty good day. We made the descent up as we went because the trail was poorly marked. Once we had regained the valley floor, we had a pretty nasty bushwack/slog through willows and marshes. Amazingly enough, we stayed dry despite all the mud. So without further ado, here are the pics.
