The General is one of the higher mountains in the Salmon River Mountains along the boundary of the Frank Church River of no Return Wilderness area. This climb was a multiple peak climb in which I followed a ridge along the wilderness over three 10,000+ foot peaks. I started up a jeep trail on the backside of Mount Jordan. From there climbed up top of Mount Jordan, then followed the ridge to The General. From here, I walked a mile along a 10,000 foot ridge into the wilderness area to summit an unranked peak and back. I then continued along the ridge to the last peak of the day, peak 10,0006. From there I dropped down into the valley and walked through an old burn back up and over a saddle to the trail head. I saw multiple mountain goats and elk along the way.
