The Boulder Chain Lakes is a scenic mountain valley that contains 12 different lakes in the White Cloud Mountains. I took a weekend to backpack into the Upper lakes, using a cross country route from the back side. This took us up over a ridge known as the Devil's Staircase, then over Windy Devil Pass, and down into the lakes. The goal of the trip was to climb Cardiac Peak. We made it all the way up to the class 4 crux of the climb. But due to the crumbling limb stone, the exposure, not able to determine a decent route, we turned around a few hundred feet below the summit.
