This was the junction that I missed, just past the last 'Trail' sign. Right turn takes you down the Manuel Peak trail. Left turn takes you down a steep firebreak towards Post Summit. My ankle was hurting a bit, but after eating some lunch I felt better and decided to stick it out.

Post Summit was still fogged in when I got there, but the clouds broke shortly afterward for some nice views. This shot is east to Kandlebinder with Ventana Double Cone in back.

Looking north towards the Skinner Ridge (Mt Carmel the highpoint on the horizen) Pico Blanco is under those clouds on the left.
