Artist Palette Peak - Death Valley NP (2024-Jan) : DoubleTap

Video of my attempt to summit Artist Palette Peak (2,230ft) in Death Valley National Park (20 Mule Team Canyon region). Spoiler alert, I did not make it it the top but not from lack of trying. I tried 4 different routes on this day but I got thwarted by all thanks to some Class 3+ moves and extremely loose and steep terrain. However, it was still a great hike with tremendous views of the beautiful 20 Mile Team Canyon area.
