Granite Peak August 18-19, 2007 I had the pleasure to climb Granite Peak (MTs highest) with two of my best friends, Rich Searle and Rhys Dubin, along with a newer friend Jim Perkins.

Granite Peak from Sky Top Creek. Getting light on our way up. Everyone is stoked. Sunrise over Mount Villard. Our tent is down there on the grass somewhere. Rich and Rhys nearing the summit. Everyone taking photos with Zen Master Rhys looking on & taking in the sun. On the summit with Glacier Peak and Wolf Mtn. behind. Rhys rappelling on the way down. Photo Jim Perkins.
