Had wanted to get up this little point for awhile for the unique views, but it was a low priority. Headed up Upper Bristlecone to No-name/Old Bristlecone, to Wallace Trail. Hiked from the saddle below Lee Peak toward the area where the old plane crash used to be. There are still a few pieces of debris left there in a little memorial of sorts. I passed a small group heading to the plane crash site on the way up No-name. When they got to the crash site & didn't see me, they started yelling to see if I was lost...lol. I could hear them all the way over on the point. Little did they know, I've hiked Wallace Canyon extensively & could never possibly get lost there, but it was cute that they were concerned. From the crash site, I had headed a bit blindly toward the point. You can't really see it through the woods. Made it up & there was a tiny scramble up to the highest rocky point. The views were very nice & definitely unique, especially of Charlie & Clinton & Reagan Peaks. Also had nice views of Amargosa Overlook. Hiked out to the end of the ridge from the high point, then came back a slightly higher route than I had taken out. The higher route was better, with less elevation loss in some of the ravines. Weather was great, with big roiling clouds over Charlie. I heard one big boom of thunder on the other side of Charlie, but it never materialized into anything. The ski resort area was a mad house on this holiday weekend.
