Billy Goating in the Tetons

Most likely a first D on the North West face of Treasure Mountain, and if not I hope the people before had as much fun as we did!

7:am we skinned our way through the Treasure Boy Scout camp on a new route to the summit of treasure mountain.

12:00: After to many switchbacks and a couple boldering problems later we arrived at the summit.

1:30: Lunch in the belly and completion of our Northerly snow pit analyses we where scared and disappointed at our results.

So instead of this bad ass line!

We opted for this more easterly Bunny Slope.

Brady Johnston descending into the unknown goods!

We soon found ourselves looking into some early season hucking or the start of rappel number one. After completion of the first rap, we had cruiser turns down to the next cliff band of uncertaindy.

Here we found rap#2

Standing ontop of rap#3 wishing I had more webbing and looking back at rap#2 with Brady at its base.

With dark swiftly approaching, we found ourselves beet down and still cliffed out. Rap#4

Sever thousand feet later we where looking up at our seemingly impossible descent, and yes I did learn that there is often much more snow at higher elevations than there is at lower elevations.
