Description

The goal of this route is to run/crawl to the summit of Jobs Peak starting from the edge of Carson Valley, nearly 6,000 feet lower. Jobs Peak largely dominates the western skyline of Carson Valley. While the neighboring peaks of Freel and Jobs Sister are slightly higher, they are set farther back from the edge of the valley, and thus are not as imposing from the lowlands. Climbing Jobs Peak from Carson Valley seems like an obvious challenge, but seems to be primarily completed by skiers not going for time.
