The peaks as I hiked in. Rotten is to the left, Peak 2434 is to the right

Peak 2434

Now I have circled around to Peak 2434's northeast side and am heading up

The upper slope gets very rocky

A shot of Rotten Benchmark, then two summit shots of Peak 2434, and another as I cross below it

The ridge of peak with Rotten BM off in the distance, from the top of 2434

Rotten Benchmark as I approach it

This is a profile view, showing the two saddles along the ridge to the top

At the first saddle looking up to the next bump

Now at the second saddle, looking at the top

Summit views and the benchmark

Look back at the ridge of peaks and Peak 2434 in the distance

This shot from below shows the cliff band better
