    Default 2012 Hyndman Peak climb with Sunvalleylaw

    Steve and I have birthdays close together. So to assert our youth and longevity we have been endeavoring to do an active trip together around the time of our birthdays. This time was to climb something high, Hyndman Peak (12,030') in the Pioneer range in central Idaho. We hit the trail at 7:30 am and cycled 3 miles up the single track approach in the canyon. We then ditched the bikes and hiked the rest of the way up and finished up around 5 pm. A long day to say the least.

    Here is the link to a slide show of trip pictures. The speed of the show can be altered at the top right corner.

    That looks like a very high angle for those boulders to be resting on!

    The geology around there looks incredible. I'd love to visit that area!

    Awesome pics Spud!

    Not all of it feels very stable. It was better to stay in the larger rocks that were better anchored, higher up near the top edge of the ridge, rather than in the looser debris down below the edge of the ridge. At least for climbing. After we descended a while off the top, we cut over to a funnel of scree that had a trail in it to descend a bit more directly. But the medium sized (soccer ball to basketball, along with lunch trays) rock was scary to be walking in, for me at least. If i ht a patch like that, I would find a re-route to some bigger stuff that was more stable.

    A lot of Idaho is this way. I took a couple geology courses at UW in seattle, but that was all cascade based stuff. This is different. Older rock, from deeper in some cases. Batholith plays a role as I understand it. http://imnh.isu.edu/digitalatlas/geo...th/bathdex.htm The rock that came up from deeper down brought a lot of the gems, precious metals and etc. up that have formed a lot of Idaho's mining history. A lot of the rock looks very layered as you can see in the pics.

    Great pics Steve!

    The rocks look sedimentary although I'd suspect at least some degree of metamorphism. And definitely shot through with dikes and sills of darker igneous rock (basalt?).

    The country there is so much drier than what I'm used to seeing.

    I hiked up Sauk Mountain in the North Cascades with my son yesterday. Had a blast up there. No berries though.

    Outstanding photos and narrative. And you guys are amazing. Makes my daily bike rides seem puny by comparison, but there's inspiration there for sure. Thanks so much for sharing this.

    We also stopped, the night before, during a mountain bike ride to listen to some friends play some music too.
