Oh yeah, GPS would have aided me tremendously. I didn’t want to make a “first ascent!!” :p

Awesome report. Today I tried to traverse the 3 peaks, had a funny thing happen. I followed the flagged trail off to the right from the main Olomana trail, a little above the concrete house and tree. But I turned off that trail WAY too soon, and ended up climbing the main peak via a subsidiary ridge that met the main trail shortly below the crux vertical step (roped, popular, etc.). This was a fairly scary ascent, with a couple of crux rock climbing moves I wasn’t too happy about! But anyway, I hit the main, 2nd, and 3rd summits, and descended the backside. I followed all pink flagging right when there was a fork (once), then after a pretty long walk made it back to the main Olomana trailhead.
