Looking up toward Teanaway Peak from the Iron/Teanaway saddle... we will leave the main trail and continue on more of a path to Teanaway Peak.

I'm standing next to the lone tree as Denali Girl makes her way up... the Iron/Teanaway saddle is in the center of the photo.

Looking up at the Teanaway Peak summit... we will just follow our noses up to the top.
|
Above the cliffs now on easier terrain... Iron Peak in the distance.

Making our way up the east ridge of Teanaway Peak and looking at the gnarly ridge that leads from the Teanaway summit over to Longs Pass... Ingalls Peak is in the clouds.
|
I'm nearing the summit... clouds are rolling in.
|
Not much further to the summit.

We are on the Teanaway Peak summit (6779')... Bills Peak is behind us... while clouds cover the Stuart Range on the left... with Volcanic Neck, Navaho Peak and Three Brothers on the right.

This guy was waiting for us just above the cliffs as we headed down.
|
Below the cliffs now... heading for the Iron/Teanaway saddle... looks like there is a horse party down there.

Working our way over to the Iron/Teanaway saddle.

That's me... nearing the Iron/Teanaway saddle... where we will get back on a nice trail that will take us back to the car in 2.75 miles.
