Sonora Peak and Stanislaus Peak
10.3 mile hike with 4300 feet elevation gain, we left from the St Mary's Pass trailhead, made our way up to the pass, hiked on to the top of Sonora Peak, this was a steep ascend and a little slippery on the way down, we came down to the flat area and went off trail towards Stanislaus Peak (we wanted to go to the snow field), back on the trail we followed the trail to the end, which is a steep cliff, we started the ascend of Stanislaus Peak by hiking up towards the left of the peak, we did not spot a "use trail", the beginnig is loose dirt, later you have more rocks, loose rocks and getting to the top requires using of the hands, we went to the very top by going around the left side.
