Good weather comes on the afternoon of day 5 of the SW Ramp hike to Granite Peak, Montana. Linus reflects on the toughest of 50 state high points as he attempts to bag his 47th. He previews the route to the summit he will take after midnight while relaxing in his tent at marmot camp a mile from the summit.
