From the Humphreys/Agassiz saddle, we saw the ridgeline leading up to the summit of Humphreys Peak. We could also see the false summits along the way.

As we hiked along, there were three of these false summits to skirt as the trail contoured along and just below the ridgeline.

At points along the ridgeline trail, you can see out to the southeast and are presented with an expansive view of the San Francisco Peaks.

At last, the true summit hump along the ridgeline. For scale, note the two hikers about halfway up the final summit pitch.
