Alpine Scramble - Baldy—Gray Wolf Ridge—Mount Deception Traverse

A gorgeous, immersive, and varied 3 day alpine traverse that feels like a short version of The Bailey Range Traverse. It includes stunning vistas from Gray Wolf Ridge, a challenging but relatively low hazard ascent of Mt Deception (2nd highest peak in the Olympics), ending with a descent through Royal Basin.
