July 30, 2010 was a great day for a climb to the top of Idaho. This year Wilderness Adventure Ministries took eight people. We met up with men from Central Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho and met people from all across the state. Be looking for the 2011 date and start preparing now to take the Mount Borah Challenge, overcoming the intimidating Chicken Out Ridge.
