Attempt on Diaz Peak - Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

I had set out on an attempt to climb Diaz Peak at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. I didn't have much information about the hike other than a brief trip report and a route from the Peak Bagger website. So I followed the service road, but I over shot the north rib of the mountain I wanted to ascend. By the time I was on the north rib, it was getting too late to summit the peak. I'll come back in the fall when temperatures are cooler. I ended up hiking 7.4 miles round trip because of my error.
