The ground is often soft and mushy. There's a long rope to use for Sign Post peak. The return loop had lots of easy scrambling. It was probably the most fun part. Tried to go up China Date Ranch South Peak. But the route near top was steep and very very loose and crumbly and mushy. Too risky. If it was solid in the steep section probably would have tried harder. You can see the attempt spot on the gpx.
