View south from Jacks summit. Lake Aloha in the basin below. Round Top (with the Sisters to the right and Elephants Back to the left) on the center horizon. The volcanic cone of Hawkins Peak on the left.

The Tells/Red/Silver/McConnell ridge off to the NW. These four are among my 17 remaining OGUL peaks.

I hadn't planned on traversing to Dicks, but I figured the traverse was better than the tedious talus scramble back down to Heather Lake. (And once atop Dicks it would be all downhill trail back to Glen Alpine)

Atop the class 3 crux section of the descent down to the Jacks/Dicks saddle.

Looking back up at the class 3 section. No real exposure, but nearly vertical in places.

A wider view of the descent from Jacks Peak.

Down at the lowpoint of the saddle, ready to start the scramble up to Dicks. Mostly stuck to the ridgeline which was a mixture of class 2 and easy class 3.

Another look back up at Jacks from near the low point of the traverse.

Scrambling up the south side of Dicks.
