The fence ran along a series of rocky ridges the team climbed to reach the site. The fence was approximately 2.5 miles from the cars with an elevation gain of 750 feet. (Darcy Shepard)

Equipment to remove the posts had to be hauled in, then the removed materials hiked back out (Kurt Kuznicki)

After the team cuts down the sheep wire, barbed wire, and pulls out the posts (Darcy Shepard)
