| A vendetta peak, after failing in 2007 following the ridge mentioned on this SP page - bailed then due to too many cliffy bits for my comfort level. Came back in late 09 with three others and made the summit via a more moderate ridge to the south, but involving a longer distance and traverse along the main crest. I was really thrashed on the descent, my legs cramping up on me. Glad to have made the top, given I can see this dad-gum peak from my home every day of the year. I will say it is the roughest peak in Arizona I have climbed, and I am glad I will never come back for it! I can now admire it from afar, the itch has been scratched... |
