Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: May 27, 2003  Sucess!

Did the same route with Ryan

Brought some pro just in case there was snow, but we never used it except for one rappel. Got off route on the descent, you must stay on the ridgeline and do not go climbers left of the ridge or it will suck!



Good rock, solid, only some choss. Bring gloves as the rock scrapped us up.



Did not do the N Face descent as I did not want to hump up my skis on 4th class stuff, and one of the team was not that skilled with an axe and there is about 500 feet of 45 degree snow until it mellows out.

Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: May 27, 2003  Sucess!

Did a 12 hour car-to-car climb of the West Ridge. Rode and walked mountain bikes up to just below treeline for a quick return to the trailhead. Snow-free on the ridge until just below the summit. Some really good 4th class scrambling on solid but very sharp rock.



WARNING: Popular place for vehicle break-ins. Two were reported in the same week (one was mine).
