| Climbed Little Pawnee as part of my challenge to cover the whole ridge from Audubon, Paiute, Toll, Pawnee, and Little Pawnee in a day. Was a great trip (see my tripreport for more information). The climb along the East Ridge from Pawnee was the toughest part of the whole trip (harder and way more exposed than Toll's North Ridge). My goal was to stay as close to the top of the ridge as possible, leading to several class 4 ledges and a class 5 section which caused me to backtrack part of the way. By dropping further below the ridge's crest one can find a much easier route. I believe (hope) that this is the Class 3 route that Roach mentions in his book. -- Had a great time and would do it again. (I will add a route asap). |
