This is a challenging loop that includes the 13er summits Kuss, Treasurevault and Mosquito.  This is a challenge aimed at the more advanced Ascending HIkers.  The majority of the route is off-trail, and includes the expected rocky ridges (Class 2 Scramble), but no hands-required scrambling. The route is above treeline, so we'll need good weather and an early departure time.
