West Desert
Ticks
Completed on 3/25/26. Poison ivy on this approach is no joke!!! I am currently suffering while covered head to toe from a legendary rash. Also the first bolt after the wart is missing a hanger. We rapped about 80’ to the bowl with 2 bolts and then 135’ from there. Do what we did or bring a water anchor. There are not very many options.
Took my friend through his first rappel. Fun and mellow. Great directions on the site.
Fun and beautiful
Very scenic sections. Not very challenging...Even for beginners!
Climbed the north face in 12 scary pitches. Beautiful summit.
Fun summer route.... Scary winter route!
Not quite up to European standards, but it is a fun via ferrata if you are in the area. The road to the TH was a little rough from what I remember.... You can walk the whole thing but it makes for a long hike.
Summited during the winter from the yurt. Snorkeling Elk Yurt: http://www.skitushar.com/info.html Great way to see the range.
Hiked in overnight to the meadow. Summited the next day. Amazing range.
