Anyone who has been on Cowen summit, would like suggested gear beta.
Anyone up for doing Cowen give an email shout out.
Same for some northern Winds peaks.

Haven't gone to Cowen yet but may go there or Big Horns if anyone's interested.

There's also a way around (left, I think) that is easier moves, but way more exposed and not as secure. Classic 4th class. The one Turiano suggests is better climbing, and avoids a little downclimb along the crest to the summit. Plus, if you pitch off of that one you'll likely land on the big ledge instead of half way down the SE face.
