Full summer conditions on both peaks. Finished the route in monsoon by N Cottonwood Creek.

Just under 7 hours moving time for the 16 miles plus a little time on both summits.

It was cool bagging both of these in one go, but if you're considering this route, you must want and to be ready for a big mental/physical challenge.

The route finding on the backside of the ridge connecting the peaks is slow going and takes longer than you think. These peaks are already difficult and great on their own.

We did Columbia yesterday and bailed on the traverse because of the fog and upcoming rain. The day was still no joke, I think we hit just under 13 miles. Nice job getting it done 👌
