Iguana Peak, Southern Nevada

In "Rambles and Scrambles," CP called this Class 3/4 by NE gully. For the summit block, I took the way described by Bob B, which actually starts at the SE base of the summit block. I also took a gentler, more circuitous approach on the east side. While there is some exposure, the approach is class 2 and the summit block is almost entirely class 3, with a few sketchy bits and granite that occasionally looses crystals about the size of marbles.

One heads through benign desert to this pass, where there are 2 obnoxious but short bits of brush fighting.	We will avoid this bouldery gully, and instead cut left up a slope.	The approximate route, from SE corner of summitblock. Dots indicate where route goes BEHIND cliffs.

The safe but exposed way is at R. This steep ridge seems great except the granite surface tends to peel off. But a person could be belayed up.	Heading SE back down "ramp."	View back at rock below "tunnel."
