Added Toll to the day after Audubon & Paiute via the nw face in a minor snowstorm. There's only a few class 3 moves to be had on this route and I was fine with that as the rock was slick. Continued on to Pawnee.

Climbed via the North Ridge(ish). This has always been on of my favorite mountains as it was the site of my first mountaineering experience (and epic failure, of course).
A very full day. From the Brainard Lake winter closure we climbed one of Little Pawnee's north couloirs, traversed to Pawnee, and then finishied it off with a fun, moderate snow climb up Toll's SE face.
Climbed on rock from the Pawnee Peak/Mount Toll saddle. Took advantage of the near continuous snow on the descent to Blue Lake - good standing glissade practice!
Route: SE Face/Blue Lake Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2008
Still lots of snow to be had on the route. Cloudy day kept the snow pretty hard, even icy in spots! Axe/crampons necessary on the snowfield, but plenty of exposed rock to get around if you don't have them. Climbed on good snow from Blue Lake to about 200 ft below summit. Last 100 ft of snow is thinning and started punching through. Great day. Fun glissade!

Great way to spend the 4th of July. We had the mountain to ourselves for a short while. Lots of snowboarders in the basin. Great day and great weather!
