"2.14.2021~5 peak Saint Valentine’s Day Quad Massacre in Rainbow Gardens with Jimmy. Peaks 1,904’, 1,872’, Tan Ridge HP, Tan Hill and Rainbow Gardens Summit. 10 miles, 2,200’ gain in 4:35hrs. Fun date.

This section of ridge was rougher with some narrow parts which were not too difficult, but could be avoided by dropping off either side of the ridge. There was a big X made of rocks & boards on one of the saddles with a strange marker which I included in the pics.
