The first problem was there are mostly cliffs at the beginning and no real clear trail. I was able to find a wash area and started there. The hill was very steep, and although I saw a few things that looked like they may be trails, none of them were. It was a bit of a scramble, but there was not really anything to grab onto other than cactus and rocks that moved. At least the ones on Syphon Draw were in the ground solidly.

I kept scrambling until it got so steep, and so few handholds, that I was concerned about getting back down even if I could make it to the top. So, I stopped there, snapped a few shots, and decided that was as far as I would get.
