The Climb

From the Zola BM road junction, bushwhack east-northeast across sagebrush and drop 55 vertical feet to cross a dry, wide gully. Scramble up onto a sagebrush hump/shoulder. From the crest of this hump, descend northeast in thick sagebrush on a narrowing shoulder/ridge to reach Cat Creek. Cross a cattle fence near the shallow, wide creek. Once across Cat Creek,  follow good, well-beaten cattle trails south-southeast up a bare shoulder.

Leave this shoulder at about 5,800 feet and head east/east-southeast up over a ridge. Drop about 80 vertical feet to cross a dry drainage and reach the base of the west face of Rizzi Table. Scramble up the west face between two rocky sections/cliff bands and quickly reach the summit area. Head to the high point and find a cairn (which I built up) and two USGS benchmarks that point to the original USGS benchmark (which is gone). Aside from two sections of sagebrush, this is an easy, up-and-down, cross- country adventure to a hidden bench/table.
