My friend Niels Carlson and I climbed up Sweeney Peak today, and it was gloriously sunny, yet diabolically windy. Crystal clear views all around! To the North, the entire Mission Range and Swan Mountains, to the West, a large portion of the Idaho side of the Selway-Bitterroot wilderness, to the East, the whole Sapphire mountains and the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness with the peaks of the Continental Divide clearly visible. Finally to the South a great view of the Bitterroot Spine and Saint Joseph Mountain.
