jacolc- Not sure how I forgot Sugarloaf! I added it, it is within the monument (along the border that follows the ridge).
Thanks for the history, FYI I would have finished on Ophir that day. Congrats on your winter finish! Did you ski 11708? There is good tree skiing off the north into Pearl/Resolution creeks.

I ski 11708 but skiing is not my game. I skinning on longer easy approaches because is faster. Believe or not, if I reach the summit on ski (like yesterday on 9380 from Muddy Pass) they (ski) travel down on my back. I was forced to skiing down the Resolution Creek Rd after winter traverse of Sheep-Elk-Sugarloof last winter. It was nightmare for me. After sunny day the road was demolished by snowmobilers and frozen at night. I fell down maybe hundred times. Still I refuse walking because was faster. Sorry for my English.

4 days ago after 11708/Pearl I also finished unranked peaks of CampHale on Taylor Hill. As the bonus I skinning to Chicago Ridge and climb Buckeye (snow was blowout) to honor those boys from 10 Mtn Division.
