I had been waiting out two weeks of t-storm (and flash flood warning) forecasts to finally make this trek here. This was the first sunny forecast for 82 in the valley and 60s up on the mountain, but it felt like 82 by 9 a.m. this day.

I could not see any evidence of the South Peak trail, just a rock jumble, and a massive wall of elevation. I was not in my game this day, and just discounted doing South Peak outright after seeing the environment first hand.

I thought this marker was for the high spring on the map (which is long dry in summer). Didn't notice until on the way back, arrows were drawn for South Peak and Middle Peak trails, barely legible in sun faded Sharpie.

Up over 10,500 ft. and it is already getting hot. It was supposed to be cooler up here but desert forecasts can flip, and this one did.

North past Belmont, NV to the Pine Creek trailhead. I retraced the route I day hiked last year up to the 9,200 ft level, this time with a backpack to save the second hump for the next day.
