 Last part of ascent. Route up and down were ~same in 2022 and 2024, with the exception of "OOPS" for 2022 ascent. |
 Context |
 I slept near the TH in 2022, so I could meet Kelly's group next AM. |
 We head toward "Luxor" Peak (5069'). Soon we'll drop into Lovell Wash and turn L. |
 The peak ahead is a minor lump on the Muddy Highpoint side |
 Jodie climbs up dryfall. Nobody used webbing except one person who had recently broken a wrist. |
 |
 Kelly was aiming for a waypoint, and went L instead of R, so we ended up in a walled alcove. We both climbed up a class 4/5 wall, then he put down a line. |
 |

 Now on the ridge, we head ~N. |
