First photo I've seen

from this perspective on C. Ridge !

Isn't it easier to start from the east and
work back toward the west?

Exposure along the way? Outstanding photo!

Direction of travel

The most exposed scrambles face west, so I prefer west to east, especially with out snow the Twins, Sunrise pass going towards Sunset is much easier climbing up than down. I've never down climbed the west side of Monte Cristo, but it's dicy enough that I believe it is best approached from the west. Which I have done probably 6 times.
