Gardner Traverse

From the summit of Gardner Mountain, looking southwest at the Gardner Traverse, a popular yet scrambling-intense route connecting the southwest false summit (left side of photo), west-east trending, to Point 8487 (right side of photo). This route is typically only attempted when combining a trip of Gardner Mountain with a trip to North Gardner Mountain. From Point 8487, mountaineers head north along its ridge to North Gardner Mountain. Photo taken on June 26, 2010.
