Shag, I'm pretty sure my headlamp would wipe the floor with your headlamp. Has your headlamp ever helped light up a Dall Ram being caped at 1:00 AM?

Boots were Hanwag Mountain Lights. Plastic mountaineering boots would have been better but the Hanwags did OK, protected by some good gaiters.

To get to the high point shown in the first pic we had to climb about 2800 vertical up a rocky ridge, traverse across the top, then descend to the saddle shown in the second pic, then back up about another 1,000 vertical on the sharp ridge that ascends from right to left in the middle of the second pic to the top of the next mountain:
