Not for the Summit
Over 3,000 ft up. Off trail.
Average moving speed: 1.5 mph.
A year ago, while walking the Bear River spine,
I wondered what Mount Jardine looked like
from the shoulder on the other side.
Today I climbed up there to find out.
Not for the summit. Not for a photo.
For a reference.
One of seven drawings.
Sometimes the summit isn’t the destination.
