9/16/23: Tenmile Traverse summit #6. Coming down to the saddle from Peak 3 it became clear that a decision would need to be made about either trying to keep to the ridge or circumventing around the lower headwall of Peak 4 towards the right. My first instinct, as usual, what to stick to the ridge but sensing that Jackson was wearing down quickly at this point I decided to play it safe and go around as to ensure that we definitely wouldn’t have to back track at all. In retrospect it was probably the right call but I really want to do that ridge now. I’ll figure something out for another time.
