I was set to climb Middle Sister on the August 22 but it was not to be. I hiked into the basecamp between the Middle and North Sisters at about 6700 feet. The Mountaineering Boots I rented did not get along with my feet and I had to abort the climb due to several blisters. 3 of the blisters were the size of quarters. I hung out at camp while six of our group climbed and summited the Middle Sister. The one good thing was they had a 3:30 AM start and I got to sleep in. The base camp was beautiful and but extremely windy. I took photos of Broken Top, the Three Sisters, and the climbers roped up on the Hayden Glacier. The photos of the Sisters are from North to South.
