Bush here was absolutely terrible. I suggest to avoid bushwhacking as much as you can.

Now we had to face with ankle breaking traps. The tall mountain in behind is Old Baldy Mountain.

All the obstacles weren't enough, we had to avoid sudden land subsidence.

Some interesting low clouds formed over the mountains on the other side. This picture is one in million. Look low clouds and Mr. Bean in the same picture!!

Going back. Mountain on the left is Wedge. Could have seen the Fortress and other mountains but they were covered by clouds.

We aimed the creek opening. The descent route was far better than our ascent route.
