High Pointing Gets Addictive

Please join us Wednesday, March 18, 2015 at 7 pm at the Fuller Lodge (Los Alamos) for an exciting presentation by Brett Kettering – a local, active LAM members.

Over the years Brett Kettering has been visiting state high points as he has opportunity. Lately it’s become more of an addiction. Brett has summitted some of the states' highest peaks, including: Borah Peak (ID) and Granite Peak (MT). Borah Peak required a 5,200' elevation gain in 3.5 miles to reach the 12,662’ summit. Granite required a 9 mile backpack in, then a 2 mile approach to the Couloir that took them up 1,800' to the 12,799' summit. In the next few years, Brett has plans to summit some additional state high points: Hood (OR), Whitney (CA), Boundary (NV), Rainier (WA), Gannett (WY), Mauna Kea (HI), and Katahdin (ME). Come see some grand pictures of the high elevation terrain and scenery that await you!
