We drove to a place where I felt comfortable, then hiked the road up to the saddle, before heading up the north ridge. There was a lot of quartz in the rocks up there! We followed the south ridge down, then dropped into the gully to get out of the hellacious wind. The was a nice, short hike and a good first test run for the new vehicle.
