Summary: 8/17: PDX -> Stanley -> Redfish Lake Shuttle -> EP turnoff 8/18: Elephant's Perch: Splitgerber - March Direct 8/19: Warbonnet Peak
Details: Little late in kicking off sawtooth season this year due to the epic amounts of snow they received this past winter (some of which is still hanging around!) but... here we are: 2008.
Announcing the return of the handlebar mustache: Stewart_Harbalski Double bonus for matching shirt and haircut
Joining us for the kick off was Team Harro... neither of them had climbed on the Elephant's Perch so we thought introductions were appropriate
Team Harro opted for the classic Mountaineer's Route (perhaps they will post some pics?) while Brock and I racked up for Splitgerber - March Direct or as we came to know it: Splitter Burger

After 5 and some change we joined Team Harro on the top Public notice: this hot firefighter is taken (you know who you are )
Day 2 saw us on the warpath to Warbonnet Peak... unfortunately for us the warpath is really long hike from the EP
stache @ the pass... of many
Fortunately for us the warpath had some nice scenery...
