Dragon Peak to Mt. Gould Traverse

10 mile loop hike/climb out of Onion Valley. The ridge and summit block of Dragon Peak were VERY fun, then the traverse was easy to navigate up to Gould. The summit block of Gould is a solid Class III to the registry, but the true summit requires one short committed Class IV move. Doing the loop this direction meant we could avoid the scree slog UP Mt. Gould and instead enjoy a "scree ski" down to Kearsarge Pass.
