Blogging has fallen to the wayside as things like lessons / school work and child rearing / house cleaning take more and more of my time but here's to trying to catch up a bit as I feel like we've done some fun things this past summer!
Andy and Ewoud did another climb this past summer. The mountain on their radar was Chief Mountain in Montana. It has an impressive face and interesting history and folk lore. It can easily be seen from Canada and we "go by" it on a regular basis while driving thru the south-west corner of the province. It is in the Blackfoot reservation. Chief Mountain has been a sacred mountain for hundreds of years. The first nations people have an oral tradition that near the end of days a great white god would appear from the top of chief Mountain and upon his departure, the mountain would crumble and be destroyed. Because of this, they had to get a permit to be allowed to climb here.
The black foot legend is here! Enjoy:)
