The peak off in the distance

The peak now seen from the high saddle

This cliff forced me to go left

Summit, view to the northeast

Summit rocks, view west

More east now, the Silver Bell Mountains and mine and the Sun

Northwest, West Silver Bell Mountain

Montage: two more views of the peak, plus two of the Silver Bell Cemetery

Peak 2573 centered

Closer in, long shadows

I went up this slope. The summit is hidden at the moment

Montage of climbing up the slope

Summit nigh

View over at Peak 2748

Summit rocks, West Silver Bell Mountain in the distance

Malpais Hill yon

Montage of shots into the sun, plus the peak as viewed on the ridge as I started down

Summit is seen here, centered. I went up the slope to the left, down the one to the right
