Mt. Russell's East Ridge, viewed from the summit of Mt. Carillon. Aug 24, 2002 Comments[ Post a Comment ] | Clark_Griswold | Exposure? | | 
Voted 10/10 | Thats some killer exposure there. It looks that way anyway. I find it hard to believe thats class 3 from the saddle? there below Mt Carillon to the summits of Russell. | | Posted Jan 5, 2009 2:01 pm |

Hasn't voted | It only looks this hard from Carillon. As you get to the saddle the angle looking up eases considerably, and the exposure is moderate as well since the easiest route is generally right (north) of the crest. | | Posted Jan 5, 2009 2:23 pm |

Voted 10/10 | The exposure does hold your attention throughout the ridge traverse. In many places slipping is not an option. I do think it is 3rd class (when dry), though, since there are always good handholds and footholds to be discovered. | | Posted Nov 8, 2009 10:56 am |

Voted 10/10 | Yeah, it really was a pretty easy climb as far as climbing was concerned. The exposure is mostly psychological, except in a few areas, and then it's not hard to get past. | | Posted Nov 8, 2009 12:36 pm |
