Entering the drainage. We kept left at the first major fork.

More Class 2.

Looking back as we ascend to the ridge crest, behind me. Pahrump visible below.

Along the ridge crest, we kept to the right of the rock outcroppings. The route started with some loose Class 2, but you can see the fun scrambling ahead.

View back along the ridge. We came up from the drainage on the right, which led us to the saddle on the left.

Class 2/3 fun just ahead!

Austin wrapping up the Class 2 steep loose stuff.

We kept to the rocky stuff on the left of the minor gully visible on the right, choosing to stay along the crest when possible. We weren't sure if the route would go, but it certainly did and was quite fun.

Austin on some Class 2/3.

Key gully on the left for accessing the grassy slope above.

Austin coming up the key gully.

Above the key gully as we ascend the slope to the summit. There were some minor cliffs to navigate.
