Double Top, Butcherknife Hill & Peak 7676
June 11, 2022


Double Top in the distance


Much closer, as I gain its lower slope


The top area, and benchmark


The big blueish silhouette peak is Humphreys. The biggie to the right is Kendrick Peak. The rounded one to the left is Red Mountain and the tan one in the center is Ebert Mountain


Summit of Double Top. The benchmark is on the rock with the smaller one perched on it


Butcherknife Hill


Looking up its south slope


Partway up. Kinda grim


This gnarly juniper is the summit, so says I


View east at Ebert Mountain


Southeast view, Humphreys, the big summit juniper to the right


Hiking down. The peaks from left: Red, Slate, Hochderffer, Humphreys, Kendrick. The Moritz Ridge lies below Kendrick. Potato Peak is to the right. My car is the shiny thing below a foreground hill


Peak 7676


South slope


Summit ahead. Some spot burns


Another spot burn


Getting more burny as I near the top


Summit ridge, the highpoint near the unburned tree in back


Hiking back down to my vehicle
