Dim morning sky over Three Sisters
Easy going on Goldmine Trail
Morning light shining over the green valley
Lost on the steep scree climb
More steep climb to West Boulder Saddle
Hot sun on the hot cliffs
A long view down to Carney Springs
A most formidable South Peak
Nasty cliffs and rock ahead
Scrappy pines among the rock
First view north over the rocky rise
Weaver's Needle
Tough rocky paths between rock
A lonely pinnacle
Looking down at the roost itself
Scratched messages at Robber's Roost

From Four Peaks to Weaver's Needle
