SP member Jim Egan councels a member of his hiking group while SP member Aaron Johnson makes his way up one of many obstacles in Pine Creek Canyon, enroute to Gunsight Notch Peak. Most obstacles in the time consuming Pine Creek are Class 3. Although exposure is minimal in most cases, falls could be severe or fatal. Be sure your group is experienced in similar terrain before venturing into this area.
