Got lost on the way home from Vegas. Saw a peak. Decided to climb it. Somebody was up here 100 years ago. In the last 25 years, it was just the same 6 people you find on most Arizona peaks. The Aquarius are a spectacularly scenic range. The private/stl checkerboard makes access interesting to say the least. Perhaps that's part of why they are so rarely visited. But I'll be back for sure.
