Another fun day with Laszlo & Chris. First we hiked to Creech Butte (Peak 4945), then traversed over to Creech Overlook (Peak 4930). The ridge traverse was scenic & fun. From Creech Overlook, I descended North to grab a geocache and they went back a different way to the Jeep and picked me up along the dirt road. My descent route was 'interesting'. There were a lot of cliff bands to negotiate. It worked as a descent, but I wouldn't want to go up that way.
