Peak 3986 was the first peak of six (3968, Mt. Scorpion, Black Hill, 3954, Railroad, 4040) on this north to south adventure. We decided to drive out to the mountain on the west side jeep trail and start at the bottom of a steep, loose chute just north of the first peak. The chute was like all the others on the west side of the mountain....loose and steep. With some patience we were able to pick our way up some decent, larger talus that made the slippage tolerable. Hiking poles were a major help. From Peak 3968 we traversed the ridge line to the south and tagged 5 more peaks. The ridge line has a lot of gain and loss on it, with some fun route finding. There is a lot of broken rock...from scree to boulders. There is an exit chute to the west that is just north of the last peak, Peak 4040, that we felt would be a very desirable exit in the future. For this adventure we went back to the saddle between Railroad Peak and Peak 3954, a known route. Once back down to the valley floor we followed the jeep trail back to the starting TH. Definitely a scramblers route.
