While you were stuck doing this lame route, I was styling up some new "5.9" (read 5.2) stuff at Post Falls - core. Don't be too jeleous though because it sounds like your adventure was ok too :)

 

Actually, I'm quite jeleous. I've seen the area from above Aasgard Pass and can hardly wait to get in there for some fun on the West Ridge. Nice shot of the humans.

The eagle is astonishing. I've never seen any eagles much above 5000ft let alone in such a stark place as the Chants. Maybe he likes Clif bars? (Never heard of birds slobbering though.)

Full loop fun factor...I think it is slightly shorter to go out Colchuck...bike ride down from the upper to lower trailhead goes really quick...though the washboards on the road till you hit the pavement below jars the hell out of you.
