| Did this on a fine midsummer day with Jen Olson. I hired Jen to teach me some techniques (other than the two extremes of soloing and pitching it out) for dealing with ugly class 3/4 terrain without much meaningful pro. That description fits the East Ridge perfectly! We didn't exactly take the easiest line up, which gave us more opportunities to work on short roping technique, using terrain belays, etc. Despite the crap rock, it was a good day with amazing views all the way. I'd recommend Jen to anyone looking to hire a guide. |
