| no partners | | Schultz Pass Road was closed from the south, so I took the Elden Springs Road in. Schultz Pass is also closed from this side, but there is a small, temporary parking area designated for the Schultz Tank trailhead where the roads meet.
I had planned on taking off for the ridge at the second switchback, but there was a clearly defined use trail headed toward the ridge at the first. Followed it a short ways until I realized it goes the wrong direction. Scrambled up slope to just above where the second switchback is. The wildflowers are alright on the lower parts of Weatherford, but they're out in force on the grassy slopes of the SE ridge. Tried my best to kind of switchback up, but no matter what it's a slog.
Windy and cold on top. Too smokey to see very far. Took the ridge straight down to the saddle. There's a pretty clearly defined use trail for much of the route down, following along the south side of the ridge.
Didn't see anyone until I got back to the trailhead. |
