Wonderful essay, great photos, and adventure. I can relate to the challenges myself and if i ever get that way i will avoid Mt Buggery. Lol

Thank you Charlie. It is often the challenges that make landscape photography so much fun (if not at the time!)

Excellent adventure and fantastic photos! I laughed at the hardcore names of those peaks. Around here I mostly get names like 'Chunky Gal Mountain' and 'Pickens Nose', although I'm about to go overnight to Blood Mountain.

Erik, I like the sound of Blood Mountain. Hopefully I get to read about that trip at some point. Thank you.

The light in your photographs is just amazing! The last one is my favorite! What a feeling it must have been to experience this view...
