This a good shoulder-season trip, as one starts in the shade before 8AM. I dont post here much, except to say what not to do! The way I took up "The Fortress" (named by BSA long ago, here called "Cottonwood Overlook"), Meditation Point, North Potosi (here called "Buddha's Rest") started with some totally unnecessary breaking through a cliff band. I explored some shelters (shallow caves) that I had seen for years. It rained about half the day, just light sprinkles, but the weather put a slight damper on my explorations.

This was actually my 5th time on each of these peaks!
