SL Twin Peaks West Bowl

"Trailhead" of Deaf Smith Canyon -- "No Hiker Access Allowed"

Option A: hike up swollen river through tight canyon.  Option B: go rock climbing.

When we got to the top of the West Summit, Jason asked, "Which one is higher?"  Chad laughed and pointed to the East Summit.  Jason yelled, "Crap!" and then bolted over to tag it.  For the most part, we were socked in, but then in a brief moment, a window opened up.  I took the shot.

My new hobby: mountain portraiture.  Subject:  Chad.

And another.  Which is better?  A? or B?
