Elusive

 Went for a longer tour today with my pal Patrick. 

 I had checked topos and found a promising goal, then looked for photos in my archive. Found this one from 2010. It's the peak front left with huge reverse "S" snowfield. A skier's peak for sure!

  

Early morning start. Mining relic.

Beautiful zone. The bottom of the "reverse S" in the center, with the peak back right out of view behind the subpeak.

Wild patterns in the snow.

Patrick on the summit block. What a spot!

Diggin' it.

We descended from just right of the snowy hump. Soft but not too soft. Great fun.

 Found an old summit register. Original party dubbed it "Mount Elusive." Less than a dozen entries since 1975. It didn't elude us!
