After only doing 5 out of the 7 peaks in the Porcupine Traverse in October, it was nice to return and finish the final two peaks on their own. The slog up Midnight was uneventful and monotonous as usual. The ridge walk between the two peaks was surprisingly fun, with great views and fun narrow sections (avoidable).
