Went over to the Ruby Mountains, one of the 'islands' of mountain range in the middle of Nevada. Today was all off trail after the first 1.5 miles, with four fairly solid passes. The first was the dodgiest, with a very steep and loose chute coming down the back side right on top of a big line of cliffs. The second was a big pile of fridge sized rockfall, and the last two were boring in comparison.
Pretty cool terrain, greener compared to the high Sierra, and instead of all scrub and pine there's a mix of grass and aspens and deciduous in there.
