Looking for 7/12 partner for Borah, Idaho

I plan to hike Idaho's highpoint on July 12,2005 and would rather go with a strong hiker than have to hire a guide service. It is a 5500' straight up climb with a place called Chicken-out ridge near the top. This is part of my 9 highpoint attempt this summer.

jane,

summitpost.com has a good webpage on mt. borah. it also has a trip report from someone who climbed borah at the end of june.

email me if you want to discuss the pros and cons of hiring a guide for borah (it sounds like i am in your same circumstances regarding hiring a guide for some class 4 colorado peaks this summer).

hope this supplements info you already have,

dave

Date

The date for the Borah climb is pretty fixed as I have other peaks scheduled and have made camping reservations before and after July 12. My husband and I are driving out west in our camper van, starting near the end of June and returning near the beginning of August. He can only do the easier climbs. I am arranging hikes up 9 state high points. I have hiking companions or guides for all except Borah. We live in western Maine. It seems that once people have done Borah, they aren't interested in doing it again! Please reply via my email at [email protected]

Borah

I climbed Borah in August, 2003. No guide, but I met and went with a Highpointer group. We were lucky not to have snow in the notch.
I am NOT a technical climber and don't like exposure. The peak is doable, but I do not recommend going alone. Will try to answer any questions.......
