	Ben needs to unplug!
	Food Shopping at 3 AM in Southern Idaho.

	A natural playground right from the tent.
	Getting ready for a good breakfast.
	City of Rocks National Monument, Idaho. There is more rock here then we could ever have time to climb, but we’ll try.

	Ben practicing climbing anchors. Elephant Rock in the background.

	Ben being challenged by his stirrups.
	There is nothing normal- even in Idaho- on a COR climbing trip. Expect the experience of a lifetime.
	Fall climbing trip to Lake Koocanusa.
	These guardrails may be best safety equipment on this trip. Lake Koocanusa in the background.
	Just south of Glacier National Park and to the West of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the rugged Mission Mountains offer incredible scenery and hiking.
	The Bitterroot-Selway mountains are just out our backdoor and have amazing mountain lakes, secluded secret fishing holes, and plenty of peace and quiet.
	Horses grazing as the first snows of November fall.
	Boulder Peak on logs in at 9,804 ft. high, but it makes quite the impression.
	Sitting on the Montana-Idaho boarder, at 10,157 ft., Trapper Peak is the tallest peak in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.
	Surmounting the final talus fields of Trapper Peak is not for the faint of heart, but wait ‘til you see the views!
	Sitting on the summit you realize what a long way you have come and every step has been worth it.
	North Trapper Peak is only a ridge away but requires technical rock climbing equipment and a heart of steel to get there.
	What?! No more going up? Ben on top of Trapper Peak.
	The view from the top only shows how more mountains we have to climb this summer.
	“It took us hours to get here. It would take us days to get home.”- Unsuspecting leader-in-training many years ago.
	My Mom and sister, Christine, enjoying a simple hike in the Selway-Bitterroot which leads to the Blodgett Canyon Overlook.
	The Selway-Bitterroot Mountains has numerous glacier-carved canyons. The “Bitterroot”, as the locals call it, is just south of Missoula, Montana. The rock formations on the north side (right) of Blodgett Canyon offer premier rock climbs which are 800 ft. to 1,300 ft. in shear vertical length. Don’t worry, for our climbing trips, COR uses cliffs that have a little less exposure.
