The temperatures were cold, the winds strong, and the resulting wind chill was -200F or something like that (math isn’t our thing). As a result, what started the day as a possible loop featuring the “needed” 4000-footer Mt Jackson (4052′) and the 52 With-A-View peak, Mt Webster (3910′), ended on this note: “Okay, I only need Jackson… let’s get out of here.” Redline Guide Ken Hodges, who led this trip, didn’t argue the point. Anything for our guests. Particularly this one. We have a special sense of obligation to this returning guest. Ever since Mike sweetened her coffee with salt… yeah, that actually happened. Here are a few photos of their day:

Jackson first, let’s go left.
Warmer in the sun in the more protected areas.

Summit photo. Congratulations! Brrr.
Man, it was cold up there. But fun!
Good job, team! Congratulations for Jackson… and thanks for sticking with Redline Guiding.
