"1.28.2021-~Solo, Eastern Muddy Mtns NV Longwell Ridges. 10 peak CCW Loop Traverse, Half Marathon quad massacre. 13.5 miles, 4,800’ gain, 7:53hrs. Bitter Spring Peak, 2,096’, 2,234’, Longwell Arch Peak, East Longwell Ridge South, East Longwell Ridge HP, The Raven, West Longwell Ridge HP, 2,865’ and West Longwell Peak 2,890’. 10 miles of this route is all Ridge Surfin. The Hardest part was getting from East LW HP to The Raven. I had to downclimb an exposed ledge system but the rock was grippy. With a 10:35 am start I was under the gun...Nighttime caught me on the final ridge but I found my way through the darkness. An exquisite Sunset was my reward at the 10th and final peak. An Epic Full Wolf Moonrise cheered my finish. Great day. One of the most difficult and satisfying Ridge Surfing I’ve ever done. Military war games were going on for a while. Helicopters equipped with guns skimmed the ridge I was on. I could see the whites of the pilots eyes. My Kia Soul made it on the rough jeep road but I wouldn’t put it through that again.

"What a nice day! I had always seen Bitter Spring Peak when I drove back the road to other peaks & wanted to visit it. There is actually an atv road up to the top of Bitter Spring Peak. From the summit, I saw the others & made a really nice loop. It was a really pretty hike! I descended BSP & headed across a ridge over to Peak 2234. I thought the ridge would connect to the peak, but it didn't. From 2234, I dropped into the wash & headed over to Peak 2096. From there, I dropped into another wash & headed around the other side of Bitter Spring Peak, through some very pretty washes & narrows. The weather was perfect & there were huge puffy clouds adding to the scenery. I also got good view of East Longwell Ridge, which I hope to go up soon. The only bad thing, I found another tick on me at the end of the day. I think it's going to be a bad year for them. Also, the Bitter Spring Road was a mess after all the rain the day before. It is hardly visible in places." — StudioHoodoo • Feb 3, 2019
