Starting from the parking area, you can see Muggins Peak poking out.

Short narrow section before getting to the official trailhead, where a information kiosk mentions a 5 mile loop around Muggins Peak.

Beeline through the desert to the gully between the two Muggins Peak pinnacles.

Approaching the gully.


Class 3 move to get into the guly.

Looking down the Class 3 section.

Continuing up the gully, both peaks of Muggins Peak visible.

Looking down the way I came, approaching the crux.

Heading farther up the gully. I went all the way into a small grotto (center) and did a sketchy Class 3+ section (maybe there's an easier way?). Loose rock everywhere from here up. Be careful.

Above the sketchy Class 3+ section, at the saddle of the two peaks.

Looking toward the eastern peak. Keep right when in doubt. It's all scary and not super fun. More beta in a later photo.

Summit of east peak looking to the west peak.

Back at the saddle, heading around the south side of the west peak to avoid really sketchy stuff.

Looking north at the west peak - more reasonable than just going straight up from the saddle.

Looking down at the saddle. I came up from the right side in this photo.

Small knife-edge to gain the summit.

Looking back toward the small knife edge and the east peak from west peak of Muggins Peak summit.

Close-up of east peak for beta. Locate the small cave in the center of the peak - you'll scramble up to this cave and pull a sketchy move to the right side of the cave, then keep to the right and spiral up to the summit.
