Anyway, I'm glad you got to spend time in some country I really love. Did you go anywhere in the Tobacco Roots? I was up Hollowtop once but many of the peaks I'd like to visit are a bit hard to access without pretty good clearance.
Being able to identify mountains I've climbed from other mountain summits is one thing I really enjoy. When I see a fantastic place my curiosity is piqued and I want to explore it. Then after I've been there and see it again from a distance, that curiosity itch is satisfied.
I didn't get to Hollowtop this time around though it was on my plan. The cold weather and rain/snow has chased me away for the season.
