First I made it to the top of 2980. I scoured for the summit register but couldn't find it. So I sat down to take a break. Then I realized it was under the rock pile I was sitting on. I signed in hoping to be the first person to make it up there in 2011. I wasn't, as someone had beaten me to the punch on New Year's Day. Before heading down to the saddle I tried to make the summit register a little more visible.
Then it was on to Little Four Peaks. There's a slick rock section I had to scramble up to ascend the first peak. On this day it was covered in ice, but I wanted to give it the old college try. It turned out to be easier than I expected.
Then I came to a cholla forest on the saddle between peaks #1 and #2. It looks out of place and probably only exists to make sure no hike I do leaves me unscathed. The scramble to the top of peak #2 is pretty easy.
From here it looks like things get a lot more vertical and I didn't feel comfortable ascending peak #3 alone. So I found a nice place to rest under the hole-in-the-rock below peak #3. From here you get great views of the Western Supes and the Goldfields. I took a different route on the way back following some faint game trails. |
