Peaks Q, R, S, & L
Well, what's a a summer without a trip report from the Upper Slate Lake Basin peaks in the Gores? Anyway, a bunch of us got together for some excellent scrambles deep in our favorite range. If you decide to check it out, I hope you enjoy! Peaks Q, R, S, & L Thanks for reading, Brandon Thumbnails for uploaded photos (click to open slideshow):

Zambo	Dang Man 8/15/2014 9:18pm This report is awesome! Truly, great work Brandon - an excellent recap of an incredible outing. Deep Gores, scrambles, gorgeous lakes, a knife edge....it's really hard to find a better spot than this out there (apart from the skeeters, of course). Also, what a crew! I remember thinking about our big group on one of the summit and wondering just how many summits, peaks, and climbs there were represented in total. It is a lot. A lot, a lot. Anyways man, thanks for the great write up and pics. Looking forward to the next outing!
mtnfiend	Excellent Report Brando! 8/15/2014 9:54pm Those skeeters were fierce! I think Blyth's comment was the best: ”these are like the Chuck Norris of mosquitos!”. :lol: Fun time out in the hills gang - I can't wait for the next adventure!
Papillon	These are great days we're livin bros... 8/15/2014 10:05pm I don't think I've had a better weekend in the hills, Brando. Thanks for the pics, the writeup, the fires, and being a cool cat as well. It was great hanging with you and J, meeting Zambo, and getting out with the usual suspects again. I look forward to the next one (and yes, we should have a next one even if it takes a few moons). The summit shot on Q is going on my wall when I get back in town. It really summarizes everything great about mountaineering. Good times!
