June snow climbing
Lovely sunny morning solo ascent of this northern face snow chute. From Honeymoon Pass I traversed the grass and bouldery slope to the small cirque at the base of the N. Face and climbed the most continuous gully of snow to the top (ending just a few feet east of the summit). Would have been a bit better perhaps with more snow (very light snow cover this year), but also maybe harder, with the crux sections (now dirty/wet/muddy rock) being near vertical snow for 50'.
