Sentiment for White Rock Hills

Pics by Harlan W S et al.
Nov 2002- Dec 2022

I have gps logs and photos from at least 16 trips up White Rock Hills Peak (WRHP), including trips via White Rock Springs Peak (WRSP) or Tunnel Vision Peak (TV). I realized some I haven't previously documented on this site, and involve folks who have passed or moved far away. So I limited this summary to just 5 trips, because I started to cry.

So here are at least 15
trips from GPS logs.

This was also the 1st
route I took 20 years
before, from the SW.

  More than 20 years back.
Valerie and Steve Nguyen
at chimney, Nov 16, 2002.
Few cairns, strange
BW instructions.

We were correct in
surmising this was
summit block; but BW
instructions became
inscrutable, and cairns
disappeared.

Val below, as I return
from climbing a bunch
of minor summits, where
I actually did find cairns.
We bailed because
it would be dark in 3 hrs.

On Mar 3, 2003,
I joined a Sierra
Club trip. I knew
the way, but the SC
got lost. Donnie B
followed me, and
spotted them down
at 2nd notch.
