Black Canyon Wilderness High Point summit, view back the way I came toward the trailhead.

Black Canyon Wilderness High Point, view toward Peak 2660. I used the loose-looking slope left bottom in this photo to descend.

Continuing to Peak 2660, top. You can see the Class 2+ cliff band obstacle to the right of the summit that I used to gain the ridge.

Awful stuff to gain Peak 2660's summit.

Close-up toward Peak 2402, my next objective. You can also see the canyon I'd use to get to it, and the ridge in the center I used to gain its summit. The pink line on the attached map outlines the nice-looking drainage to the right of the ridge I took.

Looking back up at Peak 2570 on awful rock.

Within the drainage that would lead to the wash/canyon.

Within the wash.

Wash narrows into a canyon.

Some obstacles as I descend the canyon.



A dryfall stopped me. I couldn't find a way around it.

I ascended the ridge to Peak 2402, here.

Looking back at my progress up the ridge. To the left in this photo is the alternative, likely easier ascent option outlined in pink on my map.

Class 2/3 scrambling on my ridge ascent choice.

On the final summit ridge to Peak 2402. The pink link on my map would end up here also.
