Eagle Mountain #2

27-Jan-63

By: Andy Smatko

On January 27th a desert peak-loving group of eight ascended this interesting peak east of Death Valley. The party consisted of Arky Erb, Sy Ossofsky, Barbara Lilley, Ellen Siegel, Tom Ross, one chap whose name slips me, and me. This sharply sculptured, deeply furrowed peak was ascended from the west after driving cross-country across a broad, rocky slope to the base. The climb was a truly stimulating one, involving high second to moderate third class scrambling in spots. - Andy Smatko
