Shark Boulder and Juniper Peak
This is going to be cool. Bob is doing the normal route to Juniper Peak, a great hike. We will do the route through Pine Creek and ascend Shark Boulder, a wild looking boulder just west of Juniper Peak. Hopefully Bob's group will be at Juniper when we are on Shark Boulder and they can take a photo of us. From Juniper Peak Shark Boulder has a 400 foot shear face (See the photo). We will then scramble up to Juniper Peak and descend the normal route.
No beginners, kids, or dogs. There's a tricky, class 4 downclimb to get onto Shark Boulder.
Stats:
Distance: 6 miles round trip
Elevation gain: 2,131 feet
Elevation peak: 6,109 feet
Time: 4 to 5 hours - Up and back
Difficulty: 3.5 of 5
Danger level: 4 of 5
Class: 4
