Solo TripClimbing long Alpine routes solo has always been special to me, not something one wants to do exclusively, but being out in such dire topography all alone grabs a hold of your inner core like nothing I have ever experienced.
I rate this climb a 5 star, really mixes it up for you. Had smoke from WA and BC fires clouding all views, which allowed me to focus more on the route itself. That last peak, Wind Mountain will be your toughest challenge head space wise. Cheers.
