[Philmont] philmont peaks

Hey Mark,
Which side of Trail Peak did you go up? We wnet up the south side with full
pack and if that qualifies as "not bad at all", I'm wondering what the heck
Black Mountain is like. Maybe that would move the trek into the designation
that one of our esteemed Philmont List Server members calls, "Where should
we ship your body?"
