Dead Horse Point

Dead Horse Point is a prominence that lies between White Pinnacle Peak and Mt Wilson South Summit. There are two variants of the Dead Horse Gully Route to Dead Horse Point. We'll take the one that I haven't done in several years, so this will be partially exploratory. There will be very technical climbs and challenging obstacles. This is for skilled/experienced and adventurous scramblers only who are comfortable free climbing Class 4/Low Class 5 terrain. We'll descend via the White Pinnacle Route. There are several ropes on this route.
