It was a busy day on the mountain so I decided on a less traveled destination - [link slug="airmen-peak"/]. I suspected that there might be an nice path up the ridges between the [link slug="molino-basin-parking-area"/] and the peak - I climbed past old mines to the Sun Spot Crags and then up onto the ridge - there were some nice moments on the ridge, but largely not a route I really need to repeat... Down into the West Fork of Molino (still water, and even a little flow, but stretches of dry canyon too) and then cross-country down a small drainage into Molino Canyon (water at the falls, drier than the West Fork) to finish the day. 5.6 miles, +/- 2100 feet of elecation gain and loss.
