Mineral Peak is a Brutal Climb

This morning I am tired and a little ragged. Yesterday I tackled Mineral Peak. I am starting to bite off trips that are very challenging. What seemed to be an easy climb up a jeep road turned out to be a challenging ultra technical climb. I got home last night and crashed. I couldn’t of gone any further let me tell you. Today I plan a hike up Petty Mountain up near Petty Creek Road. This mountain is just as high as yesterdays but today I am hiking. It should take longer but less taxing. I just have to bring food this time. My friend Paul is in Kalespell already. I am calling him after I post this. Maybe I can ditch todays hike for a trip up to see a friend.
