11 separate crags were recognized for the 2022 Sierra Challenge. Each crag counts as 1/2 credit, but to get full credit towards completing the challenge peak, one of the two crags must include a crag from the set #1 through #7.

Challenge participants climbed different combinations of crags, with most climbers climbing Piute Crag No. 7 and 8. This was the most technically challenging day on the challenge, with all climbers free soloing at least one pitch of class 4. One advanced rope team ventured to Piute Crag No. 6, but were stopped short of Piute Crag No. 5.

I first climbed up to Bishop Bowl Peak then traversed over towards Piute Crag No. 7. We brought a rope, but our rope lead got spooked and bailed. I climbed Piute Crags No. 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 free. The traverse between crags 9-11 was quite spicy. I'm not a climber, but I suspect I was downclimbing 5.5. Storms threatened all day but it never rained.
