Day 1 - Reach Trailhead at ~2pm. Somehow we manage to put our packs on (mine weights 65 lbs and Marc’s weighs 76 lbs). It is an easy 6 miles (depending on how much weight is on your back) to Big Sandy Lake and then a another 2 miles over Jack Ass Pass (the actual and apt name for the pass) to get to the Cirque of Towers. The first six is a cruise, were feeling studly. And the last two miles, well… Not feeling so studly any more.

Awesome sounding trip! When you decided the pooch couldn't be left unleashed, you leave her in the tent or tied to a tree? You ever worry about wildlife and a leashed dog?

thanks for the kind words, guys
altelis, I never worried too much about wild animals, but I certainly never like the idea of tying up a dog. if my memory is correct, I think she was pretty good the rest of the trip and guarded the camp leashless when we did the final two climbs.
and Pate, yeah I could climb in the winds forever. Hopefully next time we'll get into some more remote areas. those packs are just sooo damn heavy when you're talking about goint 15-20miles to base camp...
