I didn't want to attempt the horrible road on the opposite side of this wash, so I started here.

Hiking along the dirt road to the base of Harcuvar Peak, seen left. Peak 4430 is visible top right.

Nearing the spot where even burly vehicles would likely not want to continue. Harcuvar seen ahead.

I left the dirt road and started up this minor ridge (more just a slope) on the southeast side of Harcuvar Peak.

Class 2 ascent along the minor ridge's crest.

View back. The road I walked in on is in the center.

The terrain mellows out a bit higher up.

Another shot back down toward the road.

Harcuvar Peak's summit ridge seen ahead.

A view back down. Peak 4430 seen top left.

Along the ridgeline, first headed to the western summit.

Class 2 western summit of Harcuvar Peak.

Western summit, view east.

Eastern summit just ahead.

Eastern summit of Harcuvar Peak, view back west.

Onward down the west ridge of Harcuvar Peak. There's a significant outcropping, seen left here. I kept to the right of the obstacle. The saddle I'm heading down to is visible on the right.

View back up toward the rock outcroppings.

Continuing down from Harcuvar Peak. Peak 4430 seen right of center.

A shot back up toward Harcuvar.

Nearing the saddle.

Class 2 and sort of steep down to the saddle.

At the saddle, view up the eastern ridge of Peak 4430.

More rock outcroppings to avoid, I kept to the right.

View back toward Harcuvar Peak.

The mellow terrain after ascending the steeper east ridge of Peak 4430.

Peak 4430 ahead.

I descended from Peak 4430's southern ridge. The main ridge continues to the left, but the spur ridge seen on the right leads more efficiently back to the road.

Along the spur ridge on the south side of Peak 4430. Harcuvar Peak seen above.

View back up the spur ridge I took down. Peak 4430 up there on the left somewhere.

Steeper Class 2 terrain to avoid a rock outcrop on the way down. The road I hiked in on is visible on the left. I reached it to complete the loop.

View back up at the final bit of descent from Peak 4430 after avoiding rock outcroppings. Class 2.
