"3.24.2022~Gateway, East La Madre & 6,826’. 15 miles, 5,600’ gain in 8:41hrs. I bit off more than I could chew on this one on a warm Spring day. I started at the Kraft lot, Hell hill, Grey Cap Gully, Drop down to Brownstone Canyon Pictographs, Gateway Peak, then East La Madre and 6,826’ at the end. It got late and I ran out of water so I headed downhill towards Summerlin with the plan to call Laszlo for a ride since I knew he lived close by. I usually don’t overextend myself but I hadn’t been in this area or done these peaks if I underestimated what I was in for. All went well and he saved my a$$ from hitchhiking back to Calico Basin. Great area and I have a good idea what I’m in for on a La Madre Ridge Traverse. This was the 1st time seeing all the construction and it was depressing but gives me an idea for car access for other goals. I can’t believe this area didn’t get protected.
