Short notice opportunity to bag two peaks in the Mazzies I hadn't done before. With temps in the mid 90s down low, I figured that 7k wouldn't be too bad--and it wasn't. The sun is strong and warm, but there was a pleasant breeze most of the day which alleviated most heat issues. Peeley is a relatively straightforward off-trail peak, but the ridgeline to Sheep is a surprisingly difficult route. Even after the fire cleared out the vegetation. Neither the topo maps, the photographs, nor the actual view give you the full appreciation for the ups and downs you must endure to get across there. But it's a pretty sweet view when you arrive!

Good to finally hike with Nick for real, nice to hike with the Eagle, and occasionally see a shadow in the dust kicked up by rocket feet.
