Nihahi Ridge
June 5, 2004

Aside from the beginning and end, it's largely a trudge with many ups and downs and unvarying scenery. We chose to do it point-to-point but it was still a long trip.

The north end and highest point of Nihahi Ridge


We start up the trail under blue skies but the good weather doesn't last long.


Some interesting if easy scrambling at the beginning.


More interesting rock near the start


The downclimb crux: probably more possibilities with no snow.


Some route-finding adds interest.


The middle section is a monotonous
, undulating slog.


The east face drops off sharply in some places.


The summit is just past here


Just before we reach the summit is begins to rain.
