Hiked up Raymond Peak via the standard route with my beautiful 6 month pregnant wife and some friends. Then I continued solo to The Sinister. I felt like it was class 4. It was on loose volcanic junk so the whole thing was kind of messed up. The Sinister should be an Ogul peak though. I find it unlikely that Pete was unaware of it. Is it because the name is unofficial? It’s taller than nearby listed Reynolds Peak. I beat the others back to the car, so I walked a mile to the lake for a swim, and then back. The additional two miles are not included.

Wildflowers included forget-me-nots, scarlet gilia, Wyoming paintbrush, mariposa lily and penstemon. Wildlife included several grouse, a deer on class 3, and several smaller birds with white markings that I couldn’t identify.
