Peak Q and Peak W

Peak Q ( 13,230 ft ) from Pitkin Creek Trailhead.

Peak Q has a "split" summit. The eastern one is the higher of the two.  However the "notch" provides a substantial obstacle that is at least a 4th class problem. 11.4 miles camp to camp.

From Pitkin Lake, the first problem of the day in reaching Peak Q is finding a non-lethal way across the West Partner-East Partner Ridge. Information we had indicated to us not to attempt to cross the ridge at the lowest point saddle, but to seek an egress into South Slate Creek by a break in the ridge higher up toward West Partner.
