Mahogany Ridgeline Traverse"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I have been eyeing Mt. Mahogany for a while &#8211; from the freeway, while climbing up Grove Creek, from Timpooneke Rd., etc. I decided I needed to do a full traverse of the ridgeline &#8211; in preparation (hopefully!) for a full Timp ridgeline traverse later this year. MVH came with, and it was a great day on the mountain!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe height=\"405\" width=\"590\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/972393836\/embed\/04ce95e85e2fdb51f6dafce997c0548c2f14a333\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We started at the Grove Creek Trailhead. To climb this south end of Mahogany, most take the Grove Creek Trail up to the bridge, then go straight up the scree north of that. That leads to the southernmost end of the Mahogany massif. For a cleaner &#8220;ridge&#8221; approach, we went straight up the SW ridge that begins at the Grove Creek trailhead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It was steep, but fairly straight forward. There were a number of &#8220;trails,&#8221; and game trails. At the occasional cliff-band, stay left (north) and they are easy to skirt around. Steep though. 3,000 ft. climbing in 2 miles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2005\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2005\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption
