So I knocked out Pinos-Sawmill-Grouse in less than four hours in the morning- Baden-Powell was the final remaining Alt-Six for me, and I was already pretty far north of San Diego, and feeling good and ready for it, so I did it!

The 2 was closed past Islip Saddle, so I had to do the route along the PCT from there, which made the hike around 8 hours instead of 4.  And it was pretty dark by the time I reached the summit, so I used my headlamp and sang along to some favorite tunes for the four-hour return.  Thankfully had enough food and caffeine.

Along the way I bagged Islip, Hawkins, Throop, and Burnham.

Eventually I’ll do B-P from Vincent Gap!
