Peak 5966 (Black Hills)
November 12, 2021

Peak 5966 (left) and its north neighbor, Peak 5900, rise up behind a ridge, with Shoat Tank in front

Peaks 5966 and 5900, and a lot of prickly pear ahead of me

The saddle is ahead. I mainly ascended the slopes below Peak 5900 then cut over to the saddle

On top of Peak 5966, looking over at Peak 5900

East view, the Sheldon Mountains which I would climb tomorrow

West view, summit cairn and lower ridge points

View as I exit, more toward the southeast toward Trap Tank

Peak 5966 is the distant peak to the left, taken from highway US-70 near a historical marker. That's Twin Peaks North on the right
