Borah Peak is the highest point in Idaho and one we have been wanting to climb for a while. The approach is a steep hiking trail that ends at the excellently named “Chicken Out Ridge”, an exposed class 3 scramble. The rest of the route is a mix of hiking and srambling and well worth the steep slog to get there.
