I noticed a while back that on an app that there was another named summit that appeared in the south castle area, so I figured I better bag that summit. So today was that day. So you start at the gate of the 2nd finger and take the Loaf Mountain ridge all the way up to the East high point or the Loaf Mountain East Peak. I had read online a few other peoples journeys up this and it didn't seem to hard except they said they couldn't get to the true summit. Well they were right and we only made it within like 15 vertical feet to the true summit. The summit block was pretty exposed and not worth trying, maybe one day I'll try it from the other side, if that is even possible.

| There were lots of flowers today on this first grassy hill |

| One of many dead mangled trees we saw |

| It looked at this point that the weather was going to turn bad, but it was gone in minutes |

 |
| The summit block, I got to the ledge just above that big flat cliff |
 |
| As far as I got, the exposure was too great to even try |

| More old mangled trees, if these trees could talk! |
