After a night of brutal storms, 8 hours of rain and snow, we awake to bluebird conditions. Can we get enough coffee and calories to get our legs back under us for the climb in search of ptarmigan? These are the days that test you.
Camping above 12k in thin air after multiple climbs. Days of calorie deficits. Variable weather. But at least the dogs are amped up to get on the cliffs. Legs feel heavy, shotguns feel heavy, but we’re gonna get in the right headspace to go find birds.
These hunts make you question your sanity.
