The same group of six (and dogs) headed on our way back to Nelson lake. We had stayed there last Fourth of July, and Stefan and I had been denied the Bare Peak SE summit by 50 feet due to a rapidly developing thunderstorm. Two of the ladies ended up needing to turn around early, and Stefan was only staying for the day. We quickly set up camp at Nelson, and then quickly got up to the ridge of SE Bare. From there, Stefan said good bye, and I made the slog over the summit of Bare Peak, and then to Bare Peak NW, the highpoint of Idaho County. I would have intended more footage up on the ridgelines, however on the return push to SE Bare, I developed a case of the dry heaves and cramps, and had to focus on getting back to camp. Glad to get these two Bitterroot 9kers done, twelve more to go!
