Pictures from failed climb...

 Campsite the night before the climb. Ice pellets were noisy overnight.
 The evening before the climb. You can see the snow but the peak is covered in clouds. Some lightning up top that evening as well.
 Another shot - trying to capture lightning but I am terrible with the camera.
 Day of the climb looking south above the treeline. I think Leatherman is the peak to the left. Snow on them as well.
 Looking down into the valley - I think it is called the Lost River Valley - not sure.
 Looking down at the trailhead and you can see my truck in the middle of the picture at the top.
 This is at around 10,000 ft. The peak is in the middle above 12,000 ft. The worry is the notch with all the snow to the right. That is a 15 ft. down climb and the handholds would have been troubling with the snow.
 Taking a selfie. Climbed another 1000 feet to 11,000 ft and decided it was a bust.
Climbing down. This just looked pretty.
