I tried going up toward the left side of the headwall. Although it is a little less steep than to the right, I topped out on inpentrable brush on the top of the headwall. I tried traversing high along the headwall towards the peak but it was way too dicey. I ended up downclimbing the way I had come up and then traversed over to a line up the headwall more toward the right. The fact that the headwall had an icy film alternating with the loose dirt made any route difficult. But certainly Galena is worth a visit.
