| Started at Diamond Lake and made a loop from Cliff Lake - up the northeast gully to the saddle, up the northeast ridge to the summit, then along the Stateline trail to the Torino Peak trail and back down to the truck. The northeast ridge is a fun little climb - especially with unconsolidated snow and a couple of goofy dogs. Gotta hand it to them though, the dogs led the whole way up through the cliff bands on the ridge and it is quite steep. This route is definitely a fun way to spice up a trip to this beautiful area! |
