Did this as part of a traverse from Mount Chardonnay over to Hannegan Peak. Approach up the rib for Chardonnay was brushy as all get-out, but once we were atop the ridge, it was smooth sailing to Chardonnay, and then only occasionally annoying hiking over to Granite.
Nice summit, Hannegan looks piddly from this higher vantage. Long way back, next time I'm going to try to loop over Mamie Pass back to the trailhead.

Granite
Added to Hannegan. Makes for a more full day. Easy to underestimate all the ups and downs

Climbed Granite to get a good view of Mamie Peak "Big Wall". Fun hike!

Hannegan And Granite
Not satisfied with Hannegan Peak, Maria and I pushed on to the summit of Granite. Much better! I wish there had been enough time to continue on to Chardonnay. I'll be back for that one.
