Alpine Scramble - Mount Chardonnay
Scramble a prominent but seldom-done peak in the Hannegan Pass area. We'll hike Hannegan Pass Trail about 1.5 miles, then head off-trail up the SW side of Granite Mountain (also a possible summit goal). The ridge runs northward to Mt. Chardonnay. Difficulty ratings for this are educated guesses.

Preference is to car camp at Hannegan Pass Trailhead on Tuesday night so we can start on the trail at 5:30 Wednesday morning.
This is somewhat of an exploratory route since this peak doesn't get many ascents. Expect some brush at times and some steep off-trail travel. Note that the leader is 57 years old and is not a super fast hiker. Be prepared to stay with the group and be a good team player if you happen to be super fast.
