| no partners | | An overcast morning meant it took a while to warm up for the day - we started out towards a promising cliff band just east of peak 5525 (which we had been on top of and then hiked down the drainage to the west of it in a previous year). My partner peeled off due to recovering more slowly than me and wanting to be able to do an actual hike the next day.
Easy XC over, and some really interesting formations. There didn't seem to be a non-technical way up to the top through the middle of it, but you could do some light scrambling up into some of the larger drainage gaps between pillars and could easily gain the ridge to either side of the band. From there I just checked out the large mesa/plateau SW of it (5080+) and then wiggled down off of it back to camp.
I'd come back and poke around this again, and check out the giant cleft below 5525 from the bottom at some point as a fairly lazy day in the area.  |
