A water catchment system near the trailhead at the base of Peak 3139.

We hiked along this degraded road. Peak 3116 seen right, Peak 3139 left. The road ended and we continued up a rocky wash.

View back down the wash as we ascend along an animal trail.

Now at the base of Peak 3116.

Steep ascent up Peak 3116. It gets more loose higher up.

View back toward the saddle we came up from, Austin scrambling up the loose crap.

View north.

View back toward Peak 3116 after coming down. We followed an animal trail over to Peak 3139.

More ascending through the often rocky wash.

Cool cliffs on the north side of the wash.

The drainage leads up to the center, but it became choke with boulders.

Instead we ascended toward Peak 4121 using a steep slope.

Loose enough toward the top of the slope to be crawl-worthy.

View back down into the drainage as we near the top of the slope.

Peak 4121 seen ahead, now off the steep slope.

View back toward the head of the drainage, Hannah Benchmark seen top left.
