east ridge
climbed this with Mark Hinton. We found lots of snow in sections, bare trail in others. Had a nice cloudy experience on the summit but overall a great trip.
One section of the ridge, maybe 300' below the summit, was rock hard snow that deserved crampons and ice axe for safety.
Be prepared for the severely horse-trampled approach from Rio Grande reservoir.
cdog,
I would encourage you to repost your log entry found here on the new East Slopes & The Window Route page. I am going to unattach this route page from the Rio Grande Pyramid page due to the old maintainer relinquishing it and deleting all the old information.
