[TR] Mox Peaks, Mt. Redoubt - 8/2006 - PICTORIAL

Recommended Posts

Summary: I spent 5 days in the Chilliwacks with Don & Sheila B., Don D., Roy M., and Mike C. Highlights were 77 year-old Roy M. and 71 year-old Don D. making the summits of SE and NW Mox Peaks (AKA Twin Spires). Together, we became the 23rd ascent party on SE Mox (no telling how many folks climbed NW Mox to date because the summit register is soggy, fragile, and until Mike C. dries it out, unreadable). The comraderie, the views, and the magnificent position of these peaks all contributed to making this trip one of the finer outings I have ever had the pleasure of being on. No trip report here, hopefully you'll just enjoy the photos.

Special thanks to Don B. for all the help in making this trip happen. Thanks also to Sheila for being so patient (not to mention the moral support). thumbs_up.gif
