Crux on White Baldy east ridge

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

The crux on White Baldy's east ridge, the final ascent of the Bullion Divide route. On the ascent, I didn't like the looks of steep granite cloaked with trees. I downclimbed 100', traversed west, and regained the ridge west of White Baldy. On the descent I could see the terrain better and found a class 4 route around this crux. September 12, 2006

So did you go West to East on the Bullion Divide route?
