Summit on the way to Gypsy.There's a blue tarp on the north face of the mountain that's only visible from the ridge to the northwest. Could be sketchy to retrieve, but I forgot to try to find it on my way out.
The little side trip you see is lightning scaring me off the ridge. I camped in this basin, which had a spring and crappy but usable hammock trees. Very helpful.

While En Route To Gypsy Peak...I summited Peak 7177 while en route to Gypsy Peak, the Pend Oreille CoHP. While I had chosen to side-traverse the other highpoints along the ridgeline, I intentionally visited the summit of Peak 7177. Great views from the top, including east towards Idaho and north towards Gypsy Peak and Watch Lake.
