Habrich Ridge Loop Hike

 

The plan was to ascend Habrich ridge then make a loop connecting back to the road after traversing the ridge and descending on the climbers trail from Habrich Spur.

Getting higher on Habrich ridge

Last time I was here I definitely did not remember this boardwalk...

Good view of Atwell

Massive boulders in the forest

Sky Pilot coming into view

And our route to Habrich poking out at the end there

Goat ridge

Some fixed ropes were handy. I never like these parts 

Almost slab walking 

Pretty wild route

Top notch way to cool off

So is plugging in the fridge

Exposure 

Another party of 3 scrambling down from the summit. No thanks

The climbers descent trail was in great shape and an efficient way to get down to the road. The road is much better as a ski though

A great loop overall. I would be keen to do it again in reverse. It was HOT.
