With a couple of hours of daylight left, I didn't have time to drop into the LCR at Blue Springs as I had hoped to do, so I decided to bag this small, but prominent peak. It was a relatively easy climb, with some loose footing and sharp shale. Otherwise very uneventful. The sunny day had turned gray, which was a little bit of a bummer. There were a few cairns at the high point, but I didn't find any kind of a peak register. There were signs that people climbed via the route I had taken, but I can't imagine this peak gets more than a handful of visitors each year.
I decided to descend so I could get back to camp before dark. These roads are not in the kind of shape you would want to be driving in the dark. Sure enough, when I got to the bottom, a sliver of sun shone though and illuminated the walls of the LCR in brilliant sunset light. If only that had happened when I was still on top of the mountain! Oh well! |
