Yellow Peak and Peak 3097
November 13, 2024


The Flatiron massif taken last night at my campsite at the Lost Dutchman. Orion is rising


My first view of Yellow Peak


Starting the climb


The lower slope


The yellow band of jumbly cliffs and rock piles


Above the cliffs, the summit rocks are close


The burned summit


Weavers Needle


The main Superstition massif. Peak 3097 is the sloping plateau seen below


Northeast, the Four Peaks and Buckhorn Mountain in the distance


More east, Malapais Mountain


Descending, Peak 3097 in the near distance


Look back up at the cliffs


Yellow Peak again, now on the slope toward Peak 3097


Summit of 3097 nigh


I declare this is the top rock


Look back at Yellow Peak and Malapais Mountain


North, the Four Peaks and Buckhorn again
