Been biding my time until the snow clears to get up to Murdock Peak (and the nearby Peak 9032 via Renny's Ridge. Wouldn't you know the Sunday I planned to do it brought a Spring snowstorm and 3-4" of new snow up high. Went for it anyway, which included lots of hiking, trudging through snow, and some postholing in spots. Renny's is beautiful. I never skiied it last winter (wasn't open for very long) but will definitely go back. Looks like some nice backcountry routes into Pinebrook too.
