zoomed-out context map
|

The easiest approach
to Crag is via N-S
washes, eventually
cutting WNW
|
 |

looking back ESE in
a side wash.
|

Mud Crag. The
scrabbly talus may
have you walking like
a chimpanzee, but it
is just class 2; I touched
my hands down a few
times for balance.
|

Me for scale.

Mud Crag

View WNW to Mud Tower

a parallel ridge across the
valley visible at R

top of the Crag.

Charleston Peak
and Mummy in

valley

The Crag (L) to Tower
(2nd from R) ridge to
~SW

 |

View of Crag as we
drop down S side of
Hill
|

This is the NE face of
Tower. One may be
able to head up to
the blue ?
|

Descending S side of Hill
|

The bottom of
descent is full
of steep, crumbly
washes
|
 |

crossing valley
|

The Tower is on
R. We cut around
to back (S) side of
lump in center, via L
side
|

Once on SE side of Tower,
Kevin and Amber went
up good left side; Jodie
and I went to the right
side to investigate the
fabled NE face.
|

I cut off the NE face early,
and had to climb up a 10'
wall to the ridge.
|

View ESE at true summit.
|

Jodie and I cut back
cross-country, to get
her to the 2 half of a
football game!
