We went counterclockwise
from the Kraft lot. Notice
how the new LIDAR
elevation data makes the
terrain on the east and
south much more detailed.

Here's the same route
on Google earth
|
Barb and Judy
negotiate some
potholes west of
RedCap
|
The only class 4
on Tinaja
|
RedCap in Back to east
|
Big Sandstone
Peaks in distance
|
Chillin' on Tinaja Pk
|
The east-most Tinaja.
There is a 150' gap between
where Barb and Judy
stand and that "boulder"...
|
2 years back, and I'm
on the "boulder"
which is actually another
peak. The tinaja from
previous picture is
shown. I've rapped off
this side 2x, last time
4 months before...
|
...using this rock
as anchor for a 5000lb
dyneema sling. I don't
know why someone took
the sling; maybe overly
LNT, or couldn't
find a pine tree to cut
down. This anchor is
out-of-the-way, so I'm
guessing it was
someone who reads my
Facebook feed.

heading back down
|
Barb on the crux
|
|
Now up the traditional
route to RedCap;
|
|
|
I forgot to take
pictures on summit,
so now we head down
the east side of RedCap
|
|
|
We took one of
my obscure ways down.
|
We will drop into
Ash Canyon
