11 months ago when Linda and I did this, we felt that it would make more sense to go up and down the description's descent route using the drainage. So, that's what I did on this low grade monsoon to monsoon break day, which made for a pretty nice day to summit the peak. I was all alone out there until almost back to the TH when I ran in to some bow hunters. Very nice, too, with lots of flowers, lingering birds calling, and plenty of water pools.

Visibility was great, even with the clouds. The air seemed clear and so the distant view points with the Peaks, the Baldy and White Mountains, Pinalenos, Pinals, and Sierra Ancha were all enjoyable. Played with last year's GPS, and since I more or less stuck to the route, if anything I did a little more going up the to the ridge too soon, I feel the stats are reliable. Lots of very friendly NM locust on that ridge to the west of the gully.
