White Rock Hills Peak (Near Vegas, NV)

We took the standard SW route up from the Rocky Gap/ Willow Springs road. For descent, I wanted to recheck the SE gully route, wondering why I hadn’t been there in 4 years; answer: brush and ticks.  I didn’t take a lot of pics, because, well, I’ve been up here a lot!

View straight down at Walt in the “Chimney.”

This feature  does not actually require chimneying.

For the last push to the top, we took

 the NW couloir  (OK, just a gully S of

summit, but with a fair amount of snow).
