Death Valley 2022/23

[Beardilocks]

Quick hike here up to Ryan benchmark just to keep in shape after resupply & maintenance days 

Beautiful day 



Found a gorgeous arrowhead in the drainage near the saddle.  


Pretty decent views.  Here sort of vaguely towards Lila C Mine and DV Junction.


And here toward DV proper, over northern Greenwater Valley. 


We took a rather interesting route of our own devising down from the peak, scrambling down the east side of the mountain and down an interesting drainage with several large dryfalls.  Fun scramble with exciting route finding.  We revisited some cool places down in the wash on that side (if you know, you know ;-) before finding a scramble back over the ridge to our trucks.  Great hike.
