Climbed up Toiyabe Dome the other day in central Nevada. Only 4.5 miles to the summit but it took nearly 4.5 hours to make it there. Steep, loose, and brushy. I got real lucky about 30 minutes into the climb when I planted a hand right in front of a rattlesnake's face. It was lucky because the snake was harmless. A mouse butt was sticking out of its mouth.
