| Made a cirque-it of the upper basin, first headed to the old-lookout site, then traversed across to the 'true' summit. Proceeded SSW to the sub-summit P6490 before heading down the ridge toward P5988 and dropping down to regain the trail out. Mixed ice/snow on rocks made for some testy gully crossings on the ridge, but nothing too serious yet... another week or so and crampons would be required. Blue-bird skies, cold temps. |
