Ascent of Mt. Potter with @alexandru_romanciuc, @hiking_actuary , Holly and Chris in Sunshine Valley. This peak is not frequently ascended due to steep and unrelenting forest and a river crossing but definitely worth the effort. We tagged the officially named summit and the higher, west summit and got some rewarding views. Fun day with friends.

A bit of late for the 2021 year review.. Made a count, 174 new peaks bagged so statistics wise this is the highest year of my #peakbagging career since 2011, beating 2017’s 152 peaks by quite a margin. On the other hand there wasn’t any “break through event” such as completing a list or getting after some real epic climbs. And thank to covid I also did not do international travel besides US (which I don’t really consider as international). However, at least a few dozen climbs I did in 2021 were very memorable and I did manage to keep myself occupied on every single opportunity I could get out.

Day 19 Rob and I ventured deep into the remote area east of Lake Mead. 4 am wake-up and over 100 miles on rough pavement and dirt roads. Jumbo Peak had a cool technical summit finish and Mica Peak was a scenic plod. Back to Las Vegas. On Day 20 Rob and I scrambled up Clark Mountain in the morning. I continued driving SW and grabbed Ord Mountain in late afternoon. More dirt roads. Pushed to Bakersfield by 8 pm and kept pushing north till 11 pm. Day 21 I slept a few hours in the truck, pushed the drive to San Jose in dark at 6 am, drove up Loma Prieta still in dark and hiked to the summit just after sunrise. Then moved onto Copernicus Peak. Short hike but long drive on winding roads. Back to San Jose, had lunch with my best friend in high school @whileone and then drove/hiked to the summit of Mt. Diablo at sunset. Pushed north across the Bay Area after dark. Now at Sacramento and the plan for tonight is to push to at least Redding and hopefully Mount Shasta. I didn’t even count but at least 30 peaks bagged in this trip. 21 days of non-stop hiking and climbing. Zero rest day. Then Day 22, tomorrow, the plan is to push all the way back home.
