8 miles of hiking • 3250' elevation gain •
Second attempt to reach table mountain resulted in futility due to weather. This route started at the power lines (Aldrich Butte TH). It was cold and raining starting out but by the time I got to the steep, loose rock section of the west approach, the snow was coming down and the wind blowing hard. After losing the trail several times near the top, common sense won out and I slowly picked my way back down the steep access trail and returned.
