Least Desirable Peak

Spring 1971

By: Les Stockton

There are no bad mountains just bad climbers. But who can fight consensus? After a longer than planned, arduous, hot (96°), foot searing backpack, an impossible bush-whack, clothes tearing, viewless, difficult route finding and descent in the dark, otherwise totally enjoyable mountain, Samon Pk. (6227') must be listed least desirable. Would I repeat it? Only if Warren Harding would!
