Howard - Cirrus -Lead - Never Summer Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2009
From camp in Hitchens Gulch, climbed the unnamed peak east of Howard Mtn, Howard Mtn, Mt Cirrus, Lead Mtn, and 'Never Summer Pk' with my friend Keith. Traversed Hart Ridge from Cirrus to Lead.
Bushwhacked through the snow to the east ridge. The east ridge proved to be pretty tough, and quite exposed, climbing. Glad to bail of the ridge on the way down onto steep snowfields (ice axe a good idea)
This was our second attempt. We approached from the Grand Ditch and came up and over the unnamed summit on the east side. There's a nice rocky ridge to travers between the unnamed summit and Lead.
