I couldn’t wait another day to bag my 100th different peak and 50th of the year! It was a solo after work mission. I made quick work of the familiar unmaintained trail until turning off towards Guye.
Gotta love the views across the valley towards the long lineup of peaks from Denny Mountain to Chair Peak.
I chose to stop at the false summit as the true summit requires some rock climbing.
I’ll be back for the last pitch but that didn’t matter I was happy to be on my 100th different mountain!
