Knife Point

On Day 3 we had a lazy morning at camp. A little before 10am I embarked on a solo mission up Knife Point. The round trip from camp was 3.5 miles, 3000 vertical and took 3 hours.

It was a fun mountain to climb... especially from saddle to summit. The views of Jagged's South Face and Sunlight were amazing.

I traversed up the slope below Peak Ten to the gully that lead to the Peak 10 - Knife Point saddle. 2+

Once on the saddle I scrambled on 2+ / easy 3 terrain to Knife Point's summit. The views of Jagged's South Face were stunning.
