El Capitan (Bitterroot Edition)

Jul 22nd 2020 — Montana — 4:53 pm

Not to be confused with the granite monolith in Yosemite sharing the same name. These chronicle the first half of a trip to El Capitan, the 9,983 ft mountain in the Bitterroots south of Missoula, at the border of Montana and Idaho.

I got my butt kicked. We left the car at 8am and got back around 11pm. Lots of bushwacking, some wrong turns, and a few 5th class moves. Bagged it.

  1. How long did all this (round-trip) take you? Who are your companions?

  2. It was 15 hours car to car. Probably about 2 hours of rest time in there in total. The companions are Abigail, her dog Bici, Shae, and her dog Scout.
