Harlan had suggested a traverse of Bitter Ridge, which is on the "other side" of Northshore Road from the Redstone Peaks. As it turned out, our fun group had a fabulous time on this rambling, scrambling traverse.
Although there were numerous bumps along the traverse, I counted five distinct peaks, including the highpoint, which is at the very southwestern tip of the 3-mile ridge.
Although we knew of at least one other party that had traversed the ridge before us, none of the peaks had cairns or registers.
