I was one of the first on the mountain and nearly the last off. Climbed this mountain solo and the exposure for me was quite intense, I followed the heard on the inside the ridge and was scared shitless.
!WoW! Great, great greaaaaaaaat job with the camera. I felt like I was actually there! But then, reality set in. As I took another sip of my gin & tonic.
First off , CONGRATS !! I have seen Mt. Borah , but never hiked or climbed it . Looked pretty intense in parts . I have learned to hate scree :D . After , I am sure as you have . Had more than a few , heart pounding slips or rocks I thought were stable . But were not . Congrats again and be safe ..... gubs
Congratulations on successfully scrambling to Mt Borah's summit. I, too, find the summer weight Buff Headgear is functional in a wide range of temperatures & weather conditions. You mentioned you started off with 3.5L of water. Did you carry your water in a bladder based drink system or so-called "Smart" water bottles? What backpack were you carrying? The tallest peak in Arizona, Mt Humphrey (12,633') not quite as high as Mt Borah, however, you can reach the summit without using your arms & having to scramble. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
Thanks! I just used my old-school 1L and 0.5L Nalgene bottles. Simplicity and reuse. Backpack: Jansport Agave Backpack: amzn.to/2HM2q3P I missed climbing Humphrey when I was there last time. I'll have to put it on the to-do list. I ate 2,150 calories and ended up drinking 3.1L of water. It was 60ºF when I started, warmed up to 72ºF, and had winds up to 20kts.
Nice job! Planning to summit Borah this August 🙏🏼
Good luck!

It's pretty steep for sure.

That looks awful. Not going there! Ok thanks for pointing out the trail. Your route looked super sketchy.
It's a challenge for sure.
