Mohawk Peak seen far left. We located a doubletrack that leads to the drainage on the right in this photo.

After hiking along the doubletrack and subsequent animal trail, we dropped into this drainage. Our route leads up the far left gully. It looks brushy from below.

Class 2/3 up this gully.

Fun Class 2/3.

Solid scrambling for much of this gully.

Progress up the gully.


View back down.

Nearing the head of the gully, where it became a little more brushy.

Nearing the head of the gully, view back down.

Mohawk Peak becomes visible (far left). We made an ascending traverse on the left to reach the ridgeline, since just above us looked very dangerous.

Class 2 side-hilling for a while. It wasn't great, but I don't think we could locate a better option from this direction.

Eventually we made it to the ridgeline seen up top right. Mohawk Peak's dome is also seen up there in the center.

Along the ridge, Mohawk Peak seen center.

View back at the side-hilling we did.

Tyler had opted to stay low on the ascent, which is why you can see him below. He chose to not go that way on the way back.

Approaching Mohawk Peak.

Social trail leading to the base of the dome. Mohawk Peak (the more prominent southern neighbor) seen in the distance.

Mohawk Peak's summit ridge.

View back as we approach the dome.

Chris seen starting up the initial low-angle slab.

View back at the first Class 2+ move.
