This route offers lots of variety with good vertical gain. Starts out at Spruce Pond with a strong uphill then traverses through the woods up to a great lookout at the top of Jones Hill. From there you head through the woods down to the top of Tinker Falls. From there hit the staircase into the switchbacks up and over the hill. Downhill goes down and across Shackham Rd. Cross foot bridge and head up through Hemlock Brook up to a Lean-To. From Lean-To uphill to Morgan Hill Road. Crossing over road 1.2 section to power lines.

The route starts from Brisighella RA and arrives at Borgo Tossignano BO, through paths that climb the cliffs of the chalk vein, (vena del gesso).  (Editors Note: the .gpx file shows an out-back).

"A spectacular silvery gray ridge"

Technical traverse of the full Evolution Crest. Approached via Piute Pass trail from North Lake. From Piute pass traverse the Sierra Crest to Bishop Pass. On the way, you will find climbing with technical difficulty to 5.9, about 25 Peaks that are at least 13,000 feet tall (some named, some unnamed) and a HUGE amount of elevation gain/loss. Most of the climbing is 3-4th class. The rock varies from good to garbage. Incredibly scenic and incredibly challenging and exposed route. After Bishop Pass, hike down the Bishop pass trail to South Lake.
