When Dry is much easier than many sources suggest and the looseness and most of the exposure is avoidable. Climb this route when conditions are good. The NW is rather boring by comparrison...though a day up here is far better than not at all! Enjoy.
Route Climbed: NW Ridge Date Climbed: May 22, 2005
Great place to be, there was no one there when i went, of course that was in May when there was plenty of snow left. Easy hike in and up and great views of surrounding San Juan mountains!
Route Climbed: North Ridge. Date Climbed: Sept. 1, 2005
Planned on hiking the NW ridge but the access road was blocked, so we decided to do the North ridge instead. That was a bit of a nuisance for an otherwise fine afternoon hike.
