Lets see some of your best summit pictures! I'll get it started:

Leatherman Peak Idaho. It was super windy and cold. A weather station 4000 feet lower recorded gusts up to 85 mph! We guessed that some of the gusts up top were over 100 mph.

Not cool. Pooping in the alpine is definitely not legit. Waste takes a very long time to decompose in the alpine setting, plus it is a fragile environment. Get a wag bag and carry it along for when nature calls...so that you don't spoil nature for those who come next.

Sorry for the double post but out of curiosity are you actually Mikey Schaefer?
So my post isn't a complete waste, Castelton UT

I am not Mikey Schaefer, but I do have a lot of respect for his route Border Country (and him for putting it up).

To keep your thread on topic, here's an (almost) summit shot. Props to anyone who can name the peak in question!

I'm guessing you summited Castleton via the Kor-Ingals route? and if so, how'd you like that third pitch?

Haha it was a grovel, even on top rope. I'm glad I didn't have to lead it! It gave me a lot of respect for the early desert climbers, Layton Kor was a beast.
