Got three peaks in one. Boundary, NV and then I scrambled out the Class 3 ridge to Montgomery Peak, CA. The saddle of the ridge marks the state line between CA and NV. This was the first time I set foot back in Cali since I moved back east in 2007. This was a total grind of a state high point. Tons of loose scree. My legs are blown up from the climb. Stay on the ridge, never drop off it!
