Two good scrambles up a mountain deserve another. Tetzlaff Peak, one of several named
summits in the Silver Island Mountains, falls into that category. My first encounter
with Tetzlaff Peak was in 2002, when I hiked to the top of Peak 4944, a sub-peak of
Tetzlaff on its southeast side (trip not documented). That whetted my appetite for more.
In 2005 I went up the north ridge of Tetzlaff itself, approaching from its west side,
during which time one of my boots broke open.
On both of those trips I was curious about the mountain's east side. In 2006 I satisfied
that curiosity by ascending the east side gullies to the north ridge. It was fun.

The Silver Island Mountains are just north of Wendover, Utah and next to the Bonneville salt
flats. It is often in the background of pictures of speed events taking place on the Bonneville
Speedway. From the peaks in the range one has a commanding view of the salt flats.

Photos were taken in October 2006 and appear in chronological order.
