Windom West Ridge
Summited after Sunlight Peak. Descended the gully from Sunlight and contoured across the top shelf of the basin and met with the Windom trail and followed it to the summit. The route is difficult class 2 and can easily become class 3 if you get off route. We did one class 3 maneuver on the way up. The views from Windom are EXPANSIVE. Beautiful lakes, basins, and mountains all around. It is also a beautiful peak as it rises prominently above Chicago Basin. Descended back to camp to end our third day in Chicago Basin

Climbed after Sunlight. Easy talus hopping to the summit. Friendly mountain goats.

it takes just a little anticipation and patience
did this climb on labor day weekend and there was not one person on the summit other than my partner. we did all three in the group in one day w/ out doubling back on any route. afternoon thunderstorms rolled in and we waited it out in a cave on the NW face. Do as a loop for best results.
