| The route up Peak E leaves... | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
The route up Peak E leaves the Piney River trail and heads up a gully below Peak E. If you would like to do the Ripsaw Ridge, continue on over to F and G along the ridge. For the route down, locate an obvious gully between F and G and descend down a very loose and nasty boulder and scree field. Before reaching the Piney River you will have to bushwack through some trees before intersecting the trail.

Voted 10/10 | Is there any reason why you didn't ascend past the waterfall into the tarn-filled basin below Peak C and start your traverse with Peak D? | | Posted Aug 17, 2004 10:07 am |

Hasn't voted | I knew it was going to be a long day and I wanted to climb E, F, and G so I skipped D to give me more time. D is the least impressive peak on the ridge and that is another reason why I skipped it.
Some others on July 31 did the entire ridge from C to H in one day. I probably should have continued on to H (I think is called Black Benchmark on the USGS map) but I wasn't sure what the traverse over to H would be like and I was getting tired. Apparently the downclimb off H would have been a lot easier than what I did. | | Posted Aug 17, 2004 2:58 pm |

Hasn't voted | Peak H is actually the next bump on the ridge southeast of Black Benchmark. | | Posted Aug 17, 2004 3:59 pm |
