In August, Bob and our good friend Steve Hamilton decided to do a triple peak bag of three of the four highest peaks in the Carson Range: Freel Peak (10,881 feet), Jobs Sister (10,823 feet), and Jobs Peak (10,633 feet); (Mount Rose is the other at 10,776 feet).
This trip was reminiscent and a bit of a play on the numerous times Bob and Steve did triple peak bagging of Mount Charleston (11,920 feet), Mummy Mountain (11,529 feet), and Griffith Peak (11,064 feet) together when they both lived in Southern Nevada.
Most of this trip was off-route, but there were portions of it that followed the beautiful Tahoe Rim Trail that's marked all along with these cool trail markers.
