Starting out from the First Creek Trailhead. First Creek in the center, just left of Mt. Wilson. The route up to Indecision Peak heads up the mountain featured on the left in this photo.

After leaving the First Creek Trail and traversing the desert, I got to the base of Indecision Peak. The two big obvious gullies pictured here are not the destination. Keep to the left on the slope in the center.

Heading up the slope, following a social trail.

The social trail leads to this talus slope. I dropped into it and follow it up.

Looking down the talus slope.

Heading up the talus slope. Watch for loose boulders.

At the top of the talus slope, cairns leading to the left around the cliffs.

Class 2/3 moves as you head around the cliffs.

Looking back down an interesting section. It's hard to describe the route, but cairns make it fairly easy to follow.


The route leads through a rabbit hole and then along a ledge.

Looking back at the ledge and rabbit hole under the boulder on the left.

A gully that gains lots of elevation, a social trail leading safely through the brush.


Looking back down the gully.

Cairns led me through a couple of cracks to the left of the gully to avoid a dryfall.

Looking back the way I came.

Last bit of Class 2 just below the summit of Indecision Peak.

Along the ridge, bagging a couple of peaks with the "Decision" theme along the way.

Along the ridge to the saddle with Mt. Wilson.

Looking down at First Creek Peak (center). Indecision Peak is visible at the tippy top.

Looking back toward First Creek Overlook. You can see the cliffs preventing easy access.

I left First Creek Canyon to get up to First Creek Peak (center).

Beautiful slickrock and water cascades within First Creek Canyon.







Lots of fun boulder obstacles, but eventually a social trail materialized on the south side of the canyon that makes progress faster.
