Easley Peak in December 2004,...

Easley Peak in December 2004, the South Ridge route is visible in this picture, to get up to the ridge, I went up the steep snow slope just to the left of the large rock outcropping at the center of the photo (pt. 8775 on the map), it was definitly the "crux" of the hike; steep snow that slid off the slope with ease, be carelful here when attempting Easley in the winter (and of course check the avanlanche conditions first).
