Climbed up to Lone Peak, hit the south summit then over to Bighorn Peak. Nice scrambling up to Bighorn, some 4th class sections. Then went down Bell's Canyon. Fun, but tiring day.
It was a heavy snow year, we did it in late June of 95, set off a nasty wet avalanche just after we started descending to the east, went off the cliffs on the north side, ran about a mile with 1200 of fall.

On to Lone
Did this in reverese, Bighorn to Lone, great routefinding, it is easy to get onto low class 5 if your not careful about that. Fabulous gendarmes and a fun, but relatively short scramble.
