BORAH PEAK CLIMB: Lost River Range, Idaho
AUGUST 22 & 23
Expedition Inspiration is pleased to offer the fifth climb of our Five Peaks in Five Years Series. Borah Peak, at 12,668 feet, is Idaho’s highest point. It is located in the Lost River Range and offers spectacular views of the Pahsimeroi and Big Lost River Valleys. Borah Peak is flanked by seven of the state’s nine 12,000-foot peaks. Only an hour drive from world famous Sun Valley, this climb offers a wonderful hiking adventure in a very remote, isolated mountain setting. Here is your chance to bag the highest peak in Idaho, climbing with Expedition Inspiration’s Team of breast cancer survivors, who not only climb mountains, but move them!

The Borah Peak Team will camp in the spectacular Big Lost River Valley, taking in views of the surrounding mountains and broad valleys. The Team will enjoy the hospitality of Sawtooth Mountain Guides (SMG), who will ensure that our camp offers great food, comfort, and conversation the night prior to the climb. Early the next morning, SMG will lead the climbers up the 5,500 foot ascent of the West Ridge Route. The climb is primarily a non-technical hike and scramble, with some ropes required across the infamous Chicken Out Ridge. Upon summitting, the panorama will include spectacular views of the Pioneer and White Cloud Mountain Ranges.

The Borah Peak Team will enjoy a Celebration Dinner back in the Sun Valley area, after a successful day on Borah Peak.

SIGN UP NOW! This is your chance to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer by joining Expedition Inspiration’s Team in August 2008!
