Carol and I started out to South Suicide but it was in the clouds so we turned left to Ptarmigan Pass, then Peaks 3, 2, 1, and Flattop. Took our time. At least 3, 2, and Flattop count toward my new 50-peaks-in-my-50s quest, so my count's up to 5, at least.

Short relay. Skipped from 2 to 4 on my first leg, so had to go a long way back to 3. Fun format allowed for some socializing.

Yay me! I hiked up Wolverine after work. Last time was prob 1982. Not fast. Biked to W turnoff. Gorgeous evening. Met a nice young woman on the top. Thought I'd invite her over to tea, but she eluded me on the way down. I told her about my new resolution to hike 50 peaks in my 50s (starting at age 56), and that Wolverine was #3 I think. She wondered if I had been hiking all these years. It didn't occur to me 'til later that my inspiration came from trying to set up the Mountain-O - which reminded me how wonderful these mountains are and how little I have explored them. Looks like it's 5.0 mi RT to/from the Wolverine turnoff, and 6.0 RT from there to the top of W.
