Crazy Peak Scramble


I've done Crazy Peak twice.  The first time was via the South Ridge.  The Pictures below are the second trip via the North Ridge.  My Sons and I and some friends did this day hike scramble on a gorgeous day.  The approach was up Timber Creek Trail to the Blue, Granite, Pear Lakes trail, then off trail bushwhack to the North Ridge.
