Rockinghorse (U-P) Ridge

Sometime in September 2022, I did an overnighter, starting at Booth Falls TH, climbing West Partner and traversing the Rockinghorse over to Peak P, sleeping near the P-Q saddle. The next morning I climbed to Q’s secondary summit, descended to the north, climbed Peak L and traversed over the Gore Thumb, eventually exiting via Harrigan Creek. I remember the Rockinghorse ridge being very fun 3rd and 4th class scrambling along ridge proper with just heavenly solid Gore granite to rely on. Some 4th and easy 5th class climbing provide alternatives.
