| no partners | | I have been eyeing this hike for a while so I decided to make it happen today.
I followed the route that @CannondaleKid took and I thought that it worked out real well.
It was much more "open country" than bushwhack; most of the vegetation was grass and it was easy to walk around most all of the bushes out there. There were lots of grapefruit sized rocks lurking underneath the grass, so careful foot placement was the order of the day.
It was a straightforward ascent; the only onerous part was sidehilling underneath Peak 5531, which was a false summit just before getting up to Boneyback.
I enjoyed the views on Boneyback, so I hung out there for a bit. Based on the summit register log, this one isn't hiked very frequently.
On the way back I decided to go up and over Peak 5531. In retrospect, it would have been better just to do the sidehilling again. Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil that you don't know.
This was a fun hike, and I enjoyed it much more than I thought that I would. |
