Starting up to Shagged Peak.

Shagged Peak ahead, easy terrain so far.

Looking back from Shagged Peak toward the ridgeline we ascended from. The car is somewhere hidden in the center.

Shagged Peak ahead (left), Ragged top right.

Coming down from Shagged Peak and onward to Ragged Peak.

Ragged Peak, easy terrain for the majority of this section.

Steep ascent to Ragged Peak.

Ragged Peak, view north toward Jagged Peak (right of center). We would head down the ridge on Adam's right. Charleston Peak in the distance.

Long, steep descent down Ragged. We crossed the road we came in on, visible on the right, and ascended the ridge to Jagged Peak ahead.

Heading up Jagged Peak.

Class 2.

View back toward Shagged (left) and Ragged (right).

The ridgeline becomes Class 2+, but it's still easy to avoid most of the obstacles.

Then the ridge narrows and the scrambling is a bit harder to avoid.

Class 3.

View back as we keep just east of the ridgeline to avoid excessive scrambling.

Approaching a sketchy Class 3+ section shortly before reaching Jagged Peak's summit.

Class 3+. Likely avoidable with a fair amount of backtracking.

View back along the ridgeline.

Jagged Peak summit.

Jagged Peak summit, view toward Haggard Peak (small bump top right of center). The slope coming down from Jagged Peak was steep.

View back toward Jagged Peak.

Along the ridge to Haggard Peak.

Saddle of Jagged Peak and Haggard Peak visible below. Haggard Peak top left. It's so brown and lumpy it blends right in.

View back toward the traverse from the summit of Haggard Peak.

Haggard Peak, view south. We would descend to the obvious road in the center left of this photo and take it pretty much back to the car. However, Haggard Peak's southeast face is too cliffy to make a direct beeline to the road.

Instead we continued north along its ridgeline and found a Class 2 weakness through the cliff band and headed down steep, loose terrain to the road below.

Once on the road, we headed southeast until we would leave the road and head cross-country for a short time back to the car.
