Another look at Sierra Buttes. On a clear day I should have been able to see Lassen, but couldn't spot it today.

Another Yamagata registry, this one dating back to '91. Not a whole lot of entries, but for a winter ski ascent the registry would have been buried in snow.

Contemplating the long traverse back to the trail. I had no desire to repeat the ridgeline bumps, so I angled down to the right. (Considered heading all the way down to the canyon where there was a roadbed, but this ended up being too much of a drop)

Lyon Peak Panorama Shot.

Lots and lots of sidehill. I skirted far below Needle Peak and started angling back up as I approached the peaklet between Needle/GC

Half mile back to the trail, with the minor issue of Granite Chief in the way. I didn't see a good option for skirting around to the right, so it was back up the talus to the GC summit.

Eyeing that $10 Gondola Ride back to the bottom, but decided that would be cheating. (And I didn't know when the last gondola trip was, turned out I had plenty of time)

Midway back down to the valley. Passed a couple trail runners (heading up) on my way down.
