This was my second summit of Duane Bliss Peak.
My first outing can be found here
This was my 2nd outing of the summer- A ~10mi trip south on the TRT from Spooner Summit with a short steep scramble side trip up the little climbed Duane Bliss Peak. Forgot my camera so this album is all camera phone shots.

Duane Bliss popping into view as I crested the ridge. The summit is off to the right and I needed to continue down the TRT a bit more before starting the bushwack
