We parked along Deer Springs Road and took a circuitous route up to and around Angel Peak that avoided the private property that one usually encounters from the west side. It was a lot of brutal, loose side-hilling, but the group was strong and everyone made it. We side-hilled the other side back. I'm glad I did it, but I don't know that I'm itching to do it again any time soon.
