Travel was quick and smooth through the wash and up to the saddle between Pinto and peak 2867. Looked for a route up to peak 2867 but the terrain was too steep and crumbly for my comfort level. After scouting a few potential routes I decided to abandon this peak and head north towards Pinto West. The ascent to the peak was pretty routine with the rock turning from the loose crumble to tighter packed boulders.From the peak I could now see a more viable route to peak 2867 and will probably return for another attempt.
I descended the north ridge with relative ease and funneled right into the alluvial fan south of Hamblin Butte and soon made it back to trailhead.
Views were spectacular and weather was perfect, much more to see in this area and I think there is as dirt road that runs just to the west of this range that may provide alternate route possibilities for deeper peaks.
