N. Slopes
Climbed the little remaining snow on the N. face to the W. ridge. Cool summit! I cannot verify this, but apparently, my partner claims a very large block on the summit shifted when we sat on it...Don't put too much faith in the rock up there!

Ran up!
We got to the saddle at 11:20 when clouds were building. I wanted to snag it so I nearly ran up and got to the summit 15 minutes later!

Great climb!
Climbed the snow covered west ridge to the summit.
A fun talus-hopping route. Windom may not be the most exciting peak in the area, but it is a great spot to view and contemplate C-Basin and the environs.

Standard Route from Sunlgiht
Was steeper than it looked from below, but made for fun scrambling! Storms were going great guns early in the morning, so didn't have much time to enjoy the top at 10 am.

Great trip with old friends. Outstanding views from summit. Yes, four people can huddle under a makeshift poncho tarp in a hail storm, cook, and eat dinner.
