Here is Coyote Dash, hanging out at Mt. Borah's summit, staying cool at 12,600ft. elevation. I wondering if Dash here can claim first full suit to have reached an Ultra prominence mountain peak!
Borah's wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borah_Peak
It is ranked #65 in the United States for prominence (height from base to peak, and the vertical elevation required to gain by climbing.)

OK, I saw this on the front page and I have to know, how in the world did you get a fursuit up there? This looks by all accounts like a serious wilderness hike, and fursuits are not exactly light or portable even if you weren't wearing it on the way up... o_o
As for first fursuit ascent of an Ultra, well, I believe that people have fursuited Mauna Kea before, which is the 15th most prominent peak worldwide (and 2nd in the US after Denali), so it'll be tough to beat that... but you can drive there, so this is much more impressive.

I was wondering when and if anyone was going to ask how I got the suit up there! I packed parts of the suit together into plastic bags, and then packed those into a very large backpacking pack. I then went pretty light on my provisions. And yeah, doing an Ultra by car doesn't really count! When you actually do an Ultra, you'd have hiked over 5,000 vertical feet, and in this case, it was roughly 6,000 vertical feet.
