Southwest in the direction of Granite Peak again. Notice how clear the sky looks now? It was really weird - as we descended, the wind continued to blow the valley clean from smoke, and the stuff that we had seen pouring over the ridge up on top disappeared. Hard to say why - maybe it was a fire that started near the top of a ridge and quickly burnt itself out? Maybe it will smolder for a couple of days until the wind changes and then spring to life again. You just never know with these things...

That is a nice shot of the Froze to Death Pillar. Attempted to put a route up it last winter...
Wow. Very cool. Glad it was you and not me :-)
