Looking toward UN 13,284, the next peak on our agenda. The traverse is much more rugged than it appears from here and holds some surprisingly good scrambling.

To get to UN 13,026 we dropped more than 2000 feet into Marten Creek and climbed 2000 feet back out the opposite side.

Looking down the Marten Creek drainage from UN 13,026. Reportedly some nasty stuff down there so we avoided it, staying on the surrounding ridge crests except for the single crossing.
