The two peaks, Muddy Peak (5,363') and Muddy Mountains Highpoint (5,432'), make a tough double climb. Our round trip time was some 12 hours, and the day included some class 3 climbing. The Muddy Peak class 3 route goes up the middle of the gullied face, as approached by the northerly ridge. Some rock windows were seen approaching the highpoint of the Muddy Mountains. Hidden Valley also makes a fine sight, from the saddle between the two peaks. Photos taken February 23, 2002, by Petesthousandpeaks.
