Estrella BM: the summit is not the pointed peak, but the fan-shaped ridge behind it

Walking through saguaro to get there

Now deep in the canyon, the summit looms due west of me

I climbed out of the drainage. The top is about 500 yards away

Very near the top!

The summit, with "stick Scott"

East view looking at the ridge I just came up

West view, with Woolsey Peak off in the distance

North, looking at Margies Peak

Northwest, across the Rainbow Valley and the Sierra Estrella

The tattered log book. No pencil, so I signed in electronically
