We loved this route. No ropes. No people. Thanks for a great page.

Congrats on your trip and making it to the top by the southwest couloir! I've added you as an editor on the route page, so please rewrite anything that needs improvement. I think this was my first page on SummitPost, and was written 5-6 years after I was there. I've known it wasn't perfect but I haven't had the opportunity to go back to Montana yet. It is an important route to be on SummitPost, perfect or not.

I enjoyed reading your trip report. I agree that getting around the Aero lakes was a real pain. My nephew and dad have done both approaches you showed (approximately) and preferred the Aero lakes approach. Thanks for whatever improvements you can make to the SP page.

Larry, thanks for the descriptive route info. I've been poring over Beartooth Absaroka topos lately wondering what the best and easiest access to Granite is. Your route provides a good option.

There are patchy spots of ice in the couloir right now. Passable in two places with a little class 4 climbing but several parties turned back due to conditions. I doubt the ce will clear out before the end of the season.

Thanks for the information. Lots of people are turned back by conditions on this mountain.
