Solo scramble.
Cycled 12.5 km, with about 8 easy river fords, ascended the mountain via its southwest slopes/ridge, descended via the south slopes and drainage, and cycled 12.5 km back to the car (with about 8 easy river fords). Just thinking about the energy required to ascend this mountain makes me tired. I’m going to bed!
