Mount Sawyer & Tonga Ridge

This was originally intended as a scramble of Terrace Mountain on 7/11/2015. However, in early afternoon, on awkward and brushy slopes above lower Lake Ptarmigan, we concluded that the summit of Terrace Mountain was beyond our reach. As a consolation, we hiked up Mount Sawyer on our way back to the Tonga Ridge trailhead. We gained 3,400’ in 10:30 hours of travel.
