Loop of peaks northeast of Mt Glasgow aka Garriochmill Loop Scramble

A beautiful fall day to do the Garriochmill Peak loop. We left the parking lot at 9:00 am, arrived at the northeast outlier of Glasgow at 12:00 noon, and arrived at the summit of Garriochmill about 1:00 pm. We spent a lovely 45 minutes on the summit of Garriochmill, and arrived back at the parking lot at 4:30 pm. Thanks very much to Sim, Bill, Pam, Carolyn, Marianne, Mark, with a special welcome to Pam on her first Ramblers trip, for joining me Jack on another beautiful day in the mountains.

Total distance 16.1 km, total elevation gain 1165 m, total time 7.5 hours.
