Starting out toward the Resting Spring Range through the desert. Peak 4481 seen on the right, my first peak.

Approaching the drainage I'd use to gain the ridgeline.

Some fun rock formations within the drainage.

Progress up the drainage, rocky and Class 2.

More fun obstacles within the drainage.

View back at my progress.

Ridge visible ahead, some Class 2 (Class 3 if you want) obstacles along the way.

Above a dryfall, a bit before reaching the ridgeline.

At the ridgeline, a view toward Peak 4481, seen center.

View south along the ridgeline, Peak 4272 seen center (my next peak). I came up from the drainage on the left.

Avoiding rock outcroppings on the right.

Another outcropping, which I avoided on the left.

Class 2+ move to get back to the crest.

Summit of Peak 4481, view at my traverse to come.

Summit of Peak 4481, view north. Pahrump Point seen far right.

Back at the saddle, heading up to Peak 4272.

Easy terrain along the way to Peak 4272.

View back toward Peak 4481 (left).

Top Benchmark seen ahead.

More tame ridgeline, with some minor rockiness at times.

Top Benchmark, view back.

Top Benchmark, a view at the drainage to its east. You can see my last peak, Peak 3724 on the far right.

On the way down the steep descent from Top Benchmark, Peak 3724 seen center.

Along the ridgeline toward Peak 3724.

View back at Top Benchmark (left) and Peak 4272 (right).

Avoiding a rocky hump before reaching the base of Peak 3724. You can see the ridge gets treacherous up there. I used the weakness seen top left.

View back down at the Class 2/2+ steepness.

Ascending Class 2.

Along the ridge before reaching the cliff. I traversed left toward the weakness seen far left.

Class 2 up the weakness.

View back down the weakness, Top Benchmark seen top left.

Peak 3724 summit, view south.

I descended via Peak 3724's east ridge.

Rocky descent at first.

Looking back, I also had to avoid this cliff band using the weakness seen left.

The ridge turned into a slope and led down to the desert. Here's a shot back toward Top Benchmark (left) and Peak 4272 (right).
