Clayton Peak 10,721 ft.

We started at the top of Guardsmans Pass at the head of Big Cottonwood Canyon. From there you go right (south) up to a minor summit, Steven and Ruojia had to leave from here, but not before sharing some treats. The rest of us continued to the top of Clayton Peak. It wasn't a hard hike, but the snow made it a bit more interesting.
