Peak 6710 "Relentless Peak" Relentless Peak        I have been waiting patiently for a weather window to climb my last few peaks down the Mint Valley all summer. The window finally showed up, and I realized I had become bored with peaks that had an ocean full of beta. So, my mind shifted into the unknown. I wandered up a valley I was in 4 years ago. This time, having the approach dialed in, I knew how to optimize progress. Essentially, meaning if there is a water crossing or thigh-deep murky wheeler water, just suck it up and wade through it.      My professional wheeler trail bicycle abilities rewarded me with 7.5 miles of travel each way. I can confirm it wasn't all biking, but surely quicker than walking. Recollecting on why I have so many bike issues, it's clearly the amount of mud I push it through. Maybe I should just get a wheeler? On the bike up, I was following fresh bear prints, so I blasted my airhorn every 30 minutes to reduce my bearanoia....
