Climbed from RB saddle with Sierra Mountaineering Group. 1000 feet of talus and scrambling wasn't as bad as the photo makes it appear. Spectacular summit and view!

Ran out of time
Got within about 700 vert feet of the top, but still had a great time and an interesting mountain rescue experience on the way back. Read about that here: http://www.summitpost.org/ordeal-on-mt-ritter/734852

From 1000 Island Lake/Glacier Pass
Nice challenging scramble and usual beautiful views from the summit. Good place to escape from mosquitos too!

Beautiful area
The Minarets and surrounding area and lakes was more memorable than the actual climb. Nice views atop the blocky-summit. The climbing became more fair 3rd class closer to the summit. Day hike

Standard route
First part of a Banner-Ritter-Clyde link-up. An ugly climb of a nice peak.
