Ruby Dome is the most distant peak on the Desert Peak Section list located about 780 miles from Los Angeles. However it's only about 260 miles from Boise so it was pretty high on my list of things to get done before the eventual end of the Boise project.
This was actually my second attempt at Ruby Dome after climb last December left Jen Blackie and myself floundering in deep fluffy snow and running out of daylight several thousand feet below the summit. This time we were back in October well before any significant snow had fallen.
