Huckleberry Mountain

A beautiful cool day that kept the bugs at bay was perfect for exploring the cliffs of Huckleberry Mountain. Great rock and a variety of routes of all levels make this a really appealing destination. The navigation to the cliffs while not hard is enough to keep crowds away. Look forward to climbing at Huckleberry again.
Nice stroll on the approach
The bushwack portion of the approach wasn't too bad either

Racking up
Ready to go

Heading up the first pitch of Tallywacker (5.4), 2 pitches
