| no partners | | First time out in the Mazatzals and we decided to knock the peak out first. After reviewing all the triplogs I decided on Suicide Ridge for the up and Y Bar the down.
Suicide ridge is pretty wild. I didn't see signs of human activity or cairns at any point on the ridge. The route is very direct but more than doable. Snow was present on top of the ridge. Ord and Four Peaks came into view. Mazatzal Peak was great. Summit register, lady bugs, Geo disk, the whole thing.
My Ambit 3 started giving me some directional issues when we started the descent. This resulted in some minor issues getting started down Y Bar. After 15 minutes or so we found a beautiful cairn. It's funny how much joy a pile of rocks can give you. I personally would not want to be in this area without GPS. The brush on the descent was unpleasant. At some point an agave got the better of me. At this point, we decided to change the name of the route to "Why Bar" instead of Y Bar.
It was nice to finally reconnect to the actual trail section. After that, it was trail all the way back to the car.
Peak bagging is always a treat. |
