Navigating the truck up the Sauk Mountain road‚ we were nearly at the five and half mile mark when the first true glimpse of Sauk Mountain’s west face came into view. Dead ahead‚ the four of us stared through the windshield fixated on the numerous switchbacks carved into the green vegetated hillside that emerged through the damp vaporous atmosphere.
