Solo Arkansas North ridge
Started around 10:30am. Solid push to the summit with one rest at the summit. Returned to trail head at 4:45pm. Saw a few rocks stacked as trail markers but for the most part this route includes route finding and multiple points of exposure. Leave your vehicle headed south and get onto the north ridge and ride it to the top! Some boot packing but avoided easily if you aren't into that kind of thing. Very exciting peak to climb. A few false summits ...but all part of the fun. The final scramble south along the summit ridge is very exposed and really makes the climb worth it! Looked like some great spring skiing up there as well! Always looking for people to go climbing and Skiing with who really want to get after it.
