News Coverage of Highpointers Convention in Montana


The Carbon County News in Red Lodge, Montana, has a nice article on the Highpointers convention.

Convention organizer John Mitchler was quoted in the article:

The toughest climb for Mitchler is Granite Peak.

“It’s nasty. It’s hands on rock climbing. There are two routes, the one from the north is very smooth, but from the south it is loose rock and a real challenge. Most of these (highpoints) are hikes with backpacks, so Granite is more of a snow climb,” he said.
