Beautiful sunny day with temps having just around the freezing point depending on if you were in the sun or not. Started out with the intention to peak at the 6 pack terminus with a couple of my oldest friends. (I haven’t known them very long but they ARE old). Anyway, about 3/4 way up we were passed by a couple that had never made the hike. So we’re plodding along behind them when we get to this steep scramble. The guy says we’re off the trail. While I’m looking around for trail markers one of my friends just bounds up the climb. I said to this guy to double back if he wants but I’m not breaking up my group. They headed back and me and my other friend headed up. Now I’m thinking that this diversion will just lead back to the main SKRG trail, right? But we get to this steep ravine where I can see the radio tower on the other side. It’s then I realize we’re heading up Spear. Cool! I had always thought it would cool to hike to Spear from the SKRG but didn’t know where the turn was. I know now!
