Red line is the actual track I took up to where I went which was recorded by my GPS. The track in GPX is incomplete as I could not make the summit.

2nd try on Grizzly Peak. It was funny that weather was a factor and once we get on HW40 from HW1, it was raining pretty much all the way until Grizzly Peak. Suddenly there was blue sky.

Backside of Grizzly. Very interesting how the rocks spike out like that.

This mountain is famous for sheeps wandering around because West side of the mountain is steep grassy terrain, which give them food and protection. Which also means best to be done when it is dry. Wet grass gave me no grip what so ever and the steep terrain didn't help me at all.

These animals don't have any problem going up place like that in wet condition.
