Tonto Mountain way in the distance

Now closer

I finally see the peak again hiking amid the rocks

Another shot

At the base of the steeper parts

Almost there (wipes sweat from brow)

Summit ahead. That's not the top rock. Another one in back is

The summit rock and some old battlements

Look north, the big volcanos are visible

Bill Williams (left) and mighty Humphreys (right)

Mount Floyd and Trinity in back, I believe

Hiking down, in back is Granite Mountain and to the right is Little Granite

Some battlement ruins shots, and the hopelessly scratched up benchmark
