"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

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.
