Aftr two days of rock climbing, it was time to head home. But before we departed, we went for a pre-dawn hike to Peak 7096. We started on a road leading from our campround. |
 |
That went around a large rockoutcropping, then revealed the strat of the ridge we would traverse. |

From slightly higher, the same view. Plus some sunrise color. |

Of course, the high point is always the farthest away. |

Summit. Breezy, portending the High Wind Advisory. |

Looking back along our ridge. |

Ray says it's some sort of copper mineralization. |
 |
| On the north side of the ridge, the wildflowers were going crazy. |  |
| Almost back to Camp AARP. |  |
