La Sal Linkup 4/8

No real write up for this one, but a cool little solo linkup of the three tallest peaks in the La Sals that I managed to sneak in on the way home after dropping Taryn off at her course.

A nice pre-dawn approach

Sunrise over Castle Valley

Looking towards Peale from Mt. Tuk

The technical crux of the day, a short section of 3rd/4th class on the way to Peale

On the way to Mt. Mellenthin looking back at Mt. Tuk

The line off Mt. Mellenthin taken from Mt. Tuk, a bit blind dropping in but reasonably straightforward

Part way down Mt. Mellenthin, navigating cliff bands

A beautiful, sloppy ski back to the car
