Second peaklet from VC. I had completely missed the clear section on the right on my way out, was able to make good time by following it on the return. Its a fair bit steeper than it looks from this angle.

Had to leave the ground briefly and climb over this thicket of dead branches. Legs starting to cramp up a bit from the unusual stretching.

Another section of the firebreak that had been more or less completely reclaimed by the wilderness.

Heading back to the maze, one last slope and I'm back on the trail.

Lost the firebreak completely and had to wade through this chest deep stuff for a bit. Don't have to be having fun to be having fun :)

Back on the Pine Ridge trail, heading back down towards the Church Creek divide. The bushwacks had taken about 3 hours each way.

A Ventana banana. Don't think I'd ever seen a banana slug in this section of the Ventana before.

Fitting that I'd be back a the Church Creek for sunset, since I had passed it at sunrise.
