Heather and I leave for a month of sport climbing with Will Mayo and Christine Balaz in Croatia on June 9th. I thought it might be worthwhile to train a little bit before we get there... so H and I woke up early yesterday morning and headed for the remote north face of Trail Peak (10,533 ft) in the obscure Lemhi Range of Idaho. Only having seen it on a map and google earth the night before, we had no idea what to expect! But as always, we made the best of our random Idaho adventure.

Not as pure of a line as the Heyburn Couloir (nice job Danny), we did find a skiable yet convoluted line. At the end of the day we likely left the first ski tracks on this remote north face Lemhi Peak.

Here are a few photos from our day.

we're psyched... can you tell?? =-)
