2017 was the pits!\u00a0 Dullsville.\u00a0 Cold, cold, cold.\u00a0 And snowy.\u00a0 Day after day, Lupe stared out the window.\u00a0 She would heave a big sigh after a while, give up, and go\u00a0lay on the couch looking like she’d lost her last friend.\u00a0 Now and then she got to chase her new PupJoy flying disc across the glacier in the back yard, but that was about it for excitement.\u00a0 With temperatures hovering near zero, she wasn’t even getting her usual evening walks.<\/p>\n

However, temperatures had\u00a0started creeping up the last few days.\u00a0\u00a0The snow began to\u00a0melt a little.\u00a0 Finally, this morning’s forecast\u00a0called for blue skies and unseasonable warmth.\u00a0 SPHP asked if Lupe would like to go hiking in the mountains?\u00a0 Lupe could hardly believe her big soft Dingo ears!\u00a0 If barking, racing around\u00a0in circles,\u00a0and leaping for joy mean anything, she was more than ready!<\/p>\n

Lupe had spent most of her Black Hills expeditions in 2016 climbing peaks around the SW, NE and NW perimeters of the Black Hills.\u00a0 In the fall, she even ventured way up into the Bear Lodge mountains in NE Wyoming.\u00a0 SPHP had expected that by the time 2016 was over, there wouldn’t be many named peaks remaining in the Black Hills that Lupe hadn’t climbed at least once – a handful, but not many.<\/p>\n

However, Brian Kalet<\/strong><\/a><\/span>,\u00a0a very active mountaineer from Colorado, had come through the Black Hills in May of 2016 to climb\u00a0a curious set of peaks mostly concentrated in the southern Black Hills.\u00a0 Brian had added all of them to the Peakbagger.com data base.\u00a0 When Lupe is logged in to her account, these peaks\u00a0show up as red circles on the topo map, meaning she hasn’t climbed them.\u00a0 And Lupe doesn’t allow red circles\u00a0in\u00a0her Black Hills home base without a good reason!<\/p>\n

Why had Brian come here?\u00a0 And why had he climbed such an odd combination of mostly unnamed peaks?\u00a0 The only clue SPHP could find was that all of\u00a0Brian’s ascents\u00a0here had over 300 feet of prominence.\u00a0 Prominence is the vertical distance a peak rises above the highest\u00a0col (meaning pass, ridge, or saddle) connecting it to a higher summit.<\/p>\n

Perhaps\u00a0Brian\u00a0had been\u00a0deliberately searching\u00a0out mountains with at least 300 feet of prominence?\u00a0 That’s a metric tracked on Peakbagger.com, and Brian Kalet has climbed\u00a0over 3,100 different such peaks, the second most of any account holder.\u00a0 Nothing else seemed to make any sense.<\/p>\n

Whatever\u00a0Brian’s reasons,\u00a0now that it was 2017, it was time for\u00a0Lupe to turn those annoying red circles on the map to green.\u00a0 They\u00a0had been taunting Lupe\u00a0long enough!\u00a0\u00a0She’d gotten a head start\u00a0on the Brian Kalet peaks\u00a0by climbing Peak 5688<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and Peak 5440<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0in December.\u00a0 Next up on her list was Peak 6181, located\u00a01.5 miles\u00a0NW of the town of Custer.<\/p>\n

Mica Ridge Road\u00a0goes very close to Peak 6181, but a quick scouting trip proved the property along the road was all privately owned.\u00a0 SPHP resorted to parking the G6 at a pullout for an “interpretive site” on the E side of Hwy 385 (9:14 AM, 41\u00b0F).\u00a0 From here, Lupe\u00a0had USFS land access all the way to Peak 6181<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The mountain was only 1.25 miles off to the SSW.\u00a0 Lupe crossed over to the W side of Hwy 385,\u00a0and\u00a0started\u00a0climbing a fairly steep slope.\u00a0 She had to leap through nearly\u00a0foot deep snow, which easily came up to her belly.\u00a0 Lupe likes snow, though.\u00a0 She was excited to be out in the hills again, and\u00a0having a good time.\u00a0 Up the thinly forested slope she went, heading for the top of a ridge.\u00a0 She\u00a0reached it at a saddle between two minor high points.<\/p>\n

The top of the ridge had\u00a0less\u00a0snow, only half a foot in most places.\u00a0 Lupe crossed level ground leading to the nearest high point to the S.\u00a0 After a\u00a0short climb, she was there.\u00a0 Thunderhead Mountain<\/span><\/a> (6,567 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>, where the Crazy Horse Memorial<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is located, was in view to the N.\u00a0 Off to the SW, Lupe could see her objective, Peak 6181.<\/p>\n

Off to the SW, Lupe could see her objective, Peak 6181 (Center).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

S of the minor high point, Lupe saw\u00a0a thickly forested hill.\u00a0 This hill was nearly as high as Peak 6181, but she didn’t need to climb it.\u00a0 Instead, Lupe went S only far enough to reach a logging road that headed SW.\u00a0 Near this road was a dramatic looking rock outcropping, the top of which leaned out into space.\u00a0 It reminded SPHP of a petrified artillery gun, thereby acquiring the name Artillery Rock.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Snow had drifted onto the logging road as much as 2 feet deep in places, which was pretty deep for Lupe.\u00a0 Often there was less snow off the road.\u00a0 Bare ground existed in a few places with a lot of S exposure.\u00a0 Yet plentiful\u00a0slash and debris left off-road\u00a0by the loggers\u00a0frequently made the road easier to deal with despite the snow. \u00a0Lupe continued SW toward Peak 6181 following the road closely, but not always right on it.<\/p>\n

Although at times a bit of a struggle for Lupe, the trek along the road was pretty.\u00a0 The snow was still quite frosty and crunchy.\u00a0 In many places it was unspoiled by any tracks.\u00a0 Snow crystals sparkled in the bright sunlight like tiny jewels.\u00a0 Big granite rock formations nearby added scenic interest.<\/p>\n

The climb\u00a0to\u00a0the top of Peak 6181 was easy, and didn’t take long.\u00a0 Lupe followed the NE ridge up.\u00a0 Soon\u00a0she was standing on the highest rocks at the summit.\u00a0 Hah, success!\u00a0\u00a0Another red circle on the Peakbagger.com topo map would turn green for Lupe!<\/p>\n

Lupe had surprisingly good views from Peak 6181.\u00a0 Most of them were from points a little\u00a0below the top of the mountain.\u00a0 Too many trees blocked the views at the summit, although Lupe did have open views toward the W and NW from there.\u00a0 Atlantic Hill<\/a><\/span> (6,393 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and Bear Mountain<\/a><\/span> (7,166 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0were among the peaks she could see from the summit.<\/p>\n

Even though it hadn’t taken Lupe terribly long to get here, the snow had made the journey considerably more strenuous than it ordinarily would have been.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP took a short break at the summit.\u00a0 Loopster wasn’t hungry yet, but SPHP munched on a few carrot sticks.\u00a0 Lupe curled up on the ground near SPHP’s feet.<\/p>\n

After break time, Lupe went to see the rest of the views from points a little lower down.<\/p>\n

With her exploration of Peak 6181 complete, Lupe returned to the G6 by the same route (11:50 AM, 55\u00b0F).\u00a0 Since it wasn’t even noon yet, Lupe had plenty of time to climb another mountain.\u00a0 Her next objective was Peak 6040<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, located a couple miles SW of Custer.<\/p>\n

The plan was for Lupe to also climb Custer Mountain<\/a><\/span> (6,089 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>, if there was enough daylight remaining after Peak 6040. \u00a0SPHP parked the G6 at the intersection of Lower French Creek Road and USFS Road No. 341, about 0.75 miles NNE of Custer Mountain\u00a0(12:06 PM, 54\u00b0F).\u00a0 Lupe set off heading W on No. 341, which was snow-packed.<\/p>\n

For a mile, Lupe stayed on No. 341, gaining elevation gradually the whole time.\u00a0 She then left the road to climb S toward a saddle between High Points 5900 and 5998 on the topo map.\u00a0 She found a snowy logging road near the saddle, but did not follow it.\u00a0 Instead, she turned SW toward High Point 5998.\u00a0\u00a0For a while, she\u00a0had an easy time climbing along a fairly broad, rounded ridgeline.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lupe had an easy time climbing this fairly broad, rounded ridge on her way to Peak 6040. Photo looks SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lupe tried to bypass High Point 5998, skirting it to the SE.\u00a0 However, this side of the mountain became progressively steeper, and was littered with increasing amounts of deadfall timber.\u00a0 Snow made things so slick, that SPHP started slipping.\u00a0 After a few minor stumbles, SPHP decided Lupe had better head up to the ridgeline.<\/p>\n

By now, Lupe was already close to the top of the ridge.\u00a0 She\u00a0reached it in only a couple of minutes.\u00a0 Lupe had succeeded in bypassing High Point 5998 to some degree, but\u00a0wasn’t far\u00a0S of the very top.\u00a0 Only a little farther S was a nice level spot with some grass, and a wide open view toward the town of Custer.<\/p>\n

The ridge leading SSW toward Peak 6040 was narrow and rocky.\u00a0 Peak 6040’s summit was only 0.33 mile away,\u00a0but this\u00a0route was very slow going.\u00a0 Medium-sized rocks sitting at all sorts of angles dominated the whole length of the narrow ridge.\u00a0 On both sides, the terrain was steep and full of trees, deadfall, and more rocks.\u00a0 To the E there was also snow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lupe had\u00a0no choice, but to pick her way forward through all the obstacles, while\u00a0staying on or very close to the ridgeline.\u00a0 Gradually, both sides of the ridge kept getting steeper and more difficult.\u00a0 The rocks on top increased in size as Lupe\u00a0continued S.\u00a0 SPHP began to fear Lupe might come to rocks so big she couldn’t climb over or get around them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The ridge kept getting steeper on both sides, and the rocks on top were getting bigger and harder to climb or maneuver around. Photo looks SSW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fortunately, that never happened.\u00a0\u00a0Lupe managed to reach the top of Peak 6040.\u00a0 The highest rock was only about 50 feet N of the S end of the ridge.\u00a0 The skinny summit rock was standing on end.\u00a0 It was barely wide enough for Lupe to balance on, but she hopped right up on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fortunately, the ridge became a little wider, and the rocks smaller, shortly before Lupe reached the top. Photo looks SSW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There weren’t any views to speak of from the summit rock due to the forest.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP went on to the SSW end of the ridge, where there were at least some views to the S.\u00a0 Due to the S exposure, the ground was snow-free and dry.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP stopped for a break.\u00a0 Lupe still wasn’t hungry.\u00a0 SPHP consumed the rest of the carrot sticks.\u00a0 Lupe curled up with her head resting on SPHP’s leg.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
From the end of the ridge, Lupe had a good view of Northeast Cicero Peak. Photo looks S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Far to the SSW, Lupe could also see Parker Peak<\/a><\/span> (4,848 ft.) <\/span><\/strong>(the small hill at Center). Parker Peak is the high point of Fall River County. Photo taken using the telephoto lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It had taken much longer to\u00a0reach Peak 6040\u00a0than expected.\u00a0 SPHP sat looking at the partial views, petting Lupe,\u00a0and pondering what to do next.\u00a0 The original idea had been that Lupe would follow the ridgeline all the way back over a series of high points\u00a0around to\u00a0Custer Mountain.<\/p>\n

Clearly that wasn’t going to work.\u00a0 The ridge route was too slow.\u00a0 Lupe would run out of daylight.\u00a0 Only two other options existed.\u00a0 She could forget about getting to Custer Mountain today,\u00a0or she could try going down the SW slope of Peak 6040 to see if there was a faster\u00a0way lower down leading directly over to the last saddle NW of Custer Mountain.\u00a0 That was a long shot, but might work.<\/p>\n

After a 15 minute break, SPHP checked out that 2nd option.\u00a0 Peering SW\u00a0down from\u00a0the end of the ridge, what little could be seen through the forest was encouraging.\u00a0 Lupe would easily be able to go down that way, if it didn’t get any steeper.\u00a0 May as well try it.<\/p>\n

Before leaving Peak 6040, Lupe returned to the summit again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A small opening between branches gave Lupe a glimpse of Harney Peak (R) to the N.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Near the actual summit, Lupe also had this pretty decent view to the SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With her photo duties complete, Lupe returned to the SSW end of the summit ridge and started down to the SW.\u00a0 The forest hid all distant views, but the slope remained only moderately steep the entire way.\u00a0 Lupe gradually turned S, then SE as the terrain permitted.\u00a0\u00a0This route would have been a much easier\u00a0way to the top of Peak 6040 than the NNE ridge\u00a0she had actually followed.<\/p>\n

Lupe finally arrived down at the top of an excavation into the side of the mountain.\u00a0 Below was a flat open area, which might have had something to do with an old mine shown on the topo map.\u00a0 From the open area, a primitive old road went E.\u00a0 Lupe went down to the road and followed it.<\/p>\n

At first there was a lot of snow, and later on deadfall timber was\u00a0in the way at regular intervals, but the road was level and turned NNE, the direction Lupe needed to go.\u00a0 Lupe was making good time again.\u00a0 Despite a few obstacles, this was a much faster route than the ridge had been.<\/p>\n

The road eventually ended, but not until it was almost to a large\u00a0clearing.\u00a0 On the opposite\u00a0NE side of the clearing was the slope leading up to the saddle immediately NW of Custer Mountain.\u00a0 The sun was low in the sky by the time Lupe gained the saddle, but she still had time enough to climb Custer Mountain!\u00a0 Up she went.<\/p>\n

Lupe had climbed Custer Mountain<\/a><\/span> (6,089 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0once before, almost 2 years ago in March, 2015.\u00a0 SPHP only remembered that the summit had been at some large rocks with virtually no views, but Lupe had found a way to the very top.<\/p>\n

Little\u00a0had changed in nearly 2 years.\u00a0 After climbing the steep slope, Lupe\u00a0arrived at the NE end of a narrow summit ridge consisting of large rocks with steep drops on both sides.\u00a0 However,\u00a0there was room enough\u00a0to work SW among the rocks and trees\u00a0for 100 – 150 feet\u00a0all the way\u00a0to the true summit.\u00a0 Lupe was leery of getting right up on the exposed summit rocks,\u00a0but finally relented.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog stood faithfully waiting for the OK to come down.<\/p>\n

The only real change at the top of Custer Mountain was that\u00a0many pine trees had been killed by pine bark beetles and had\u00a0lost all their needles.\u00a0 Most of the dead trees were still standing, but it was a little easier than before to see off into the distance.<\/p>\n

Are you done yet, SPHP? The view is grand if you like dead trees, but I’ve seen enough!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sunset was coming in 15\u00a0minutes.\u00a0 Time to skedaddle!\u00a0 SPHP gave the OK, and Lupe jumped down\u00a0from the true summit.\u00a0\u00a0The American Dingo\u00a0paused twice going back along the summit ridge, once where there was an opening among the dead trees where she had a good view of Daisy and Kruger Peaks,\u00a0and again at the very NE end of the ridge, where Harney Peak could be seen.<\/p>\n

Back down the steep NNW slope.\u00a0 The sun was gone before Lupe reached the saddle.\u00a0 As the light faded, the Carolina Dog turned NNE and continued down the mountain.\u00a0 The snow was a foot deep in this part of the forest.\u00a0 Lupe had to work getting through it.\u00a0 Down, down.\u00a0 At last USFS Road No. 314 came into view.\u00a0 Lupe had it made now!\u00a0 The G6 wasn’t far away.\u00a0 (5:28 PM, 36\u00b0F)<\/p>\n

Expedition No. 188 finally got 2017 off to a successful start.\u00a0 Lupe had fun, and left with high hopes for more Black Hills adventures in the very near future.\u00a0 After all, she still has a lot of Brian Kalet peaks she needs to climb!<\/p>\n
