The lower Southeast Ridge of Mt. Howard from the Nason Ridge Trail 0.3 miles east of Crescent Lake. The arrow shows the scramble (Class 2/3) route to a 6,300-ft saddle on the ridge at which time a short traverse along the crest then a downclimb takes one to
snow, talus, or heather on the east side of the ridge. The rest is trivial. May 12, 2005.
