This was my 5^th trip up Moapa; my ankle is still a bit sore from my grade 2 sprain; ah, the wonders of Ibuprofen.

Previous trips are here, here, here, and here.

	Google Earth view from SW.
Trudging up to the 1^st saddle.	View WSW from 1^st saddle at 4450’.	1^st class 3.
Val comes up class 3.		View SW at 2^nd Saddle, 5850’.
	Finishing long traverse on wall SE of peak, 6000’.	View ~W. Mormon Peak is the highest point just L of center.
Mounting Knife Edge from W side of peak.	Staring up edge, view NE.	Jose on sharpest, perhaps scariest part of edge.
Susan, Eric and Val.
	View NE from top.	View WSW past Eric.
		Intriguing peak to NE.
Descent, view SW.
	Back at the 2^nd saddle.
The rest of group approaches from NE.		Virgin Peak in back of Jose.
Avoiding the dryfall.
