01 Jul 01 - To get to Sheol Mountain, hike toward the back of Paradise Valley. Because of bear problems, this isn't as easy as one might think. Sheol will be on the left, and when you get beside it, you will see a drainage, which starts off with a little bit of bush whacking, but nothing too tough. Once in the gully, take the right fork and make your way through the rockbands, straight up to the summit ridge.



01 Jul 01 - Here we are at the summit ridge of Sheol. To get to the "summit" you just traverse down to the cairn at the end of the ridge, which is lower than you are at this point.



01 Jul 01 - From the summit ridge, you have great views of Temple's north face, but as shown here in the picture, you can also see Haddo and Aberdeen. It sure was tempting to try an ascent of Haddo from this col.
