Badlands Col (left side)

This col (on the right) in the badlands was part of my descent route from Badlands Peak. I had to scramble from the summit to the col (some Class 3 on crumbling rock and narrow ridges). Then I descended the gully from the col, which led to a wash eventually taking me to Gower Gulch. Most of the wash was a walk, but there were some steep Class 3 and 4 spots.
