Started at Cottonwood pass. Climbed to the saddle and attempted Cottonwood North, but turned back when I encountered a herd of wild horses. One of them stamped the ground and snorted at me. Seemed like a good idea to leave them the mountain and move on. Moved over to Cottonwood and descended the SW ridge.
