3.12.2022~The Raven, The Paragon, The Phoenix, 3,667’, Fire Junior, Fire Benchmark, 2,759’ & every lump in between, CW loop extravaganza. 8 miles, 4,000’ gain in 6:35hrs w/Erica & Kevin. Kevin invited me along and I couldn’t resist repeating this route. We tweaked it a little adding harder ascents and descents here and there along the way. Kevin added the registers. We modified my descent from Fire BM & took a ridge Down, to some points of interest, instead of the sloppy canyon I usually use. I always enjoy being in this rugged area of the Eastern Muddy Mtns. Good challenging hard work. Great day.
