Hiking up Peak 2620, that's not the highpoint yet
 

The high ridge, the highest point to the right
 

Big rock on the ridge

Look over at Peak 3318 from the top of Peak 2620
 

Peak 3430 and its tower
 

The top of Peak 3430
 

On top of Peak 3430, now looking east at a slightly lower bump
 

On that lower bump, looking back at the higher rise and the tower
 

Cottonwood Hill
 

On the high ridge, the summit comes into view
 

The rocky summit. Will I be able to tag it?
 

The top rock. Yeah, it was easy to tag. That lower rock is a perfect step. I wonder how long it's been there like that. 500 years? 5000 years?
