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.

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.

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