The latter part of
the hike. Starting
point is the same
for S route to
Muddy Peak.

Context.
|

From W, the canyons
on W side of Luxor
look steep; but from
SW one sees they
are steep alternates.
|

More view of the
alternate canyons.
|

The ridge up had
good footing, and
was class 1-2.
|

View ~S from
Luxor summit
|

I cut off names at top
by mistake.
|

View NW to Muddy Peak.
|

View SE back to Luxor,
as I cross to Uriah
|

Booth Pinnacle and
Pyramid to Left
of Luxor
|

View ~E
|

Snow-capped
Virgin Mt in
distance
|

Ridge between two
peaks is mellow, with
sharp ridges to clamber
over and around.
|

At this point the wind gusts
were knocking me over...
|

...so I headed ~S down
a canyon ~parallel
to my ascent ridge.
There were many slick
dryfalls, but all could
be avoided with class 3
routes at worst.
|

View back UP
the descent canyon
|

At this point the
dryfalls lessened,
and soon I cut back
to the ridge at R.
|

Why don't he write?
