Iowa Peak's West Ridge route is seen here in profile. As described in Jennifer and Gerry Roach's guide to the thirteeners, one would scramble up to the saddle on the right and ascend the ridge to the summit. Addition of this route to SP would make a nice variation to the Triple Crown Route. Is there an SP member up to the challenge? See the Triple Crown Route to Iowa & Emerald Peaks, as well as this trip report for details. Collegiate Peaks Wilderness, Summer, 2004.
