OPTIONAL DESCENTFor an easier descent than what most guide books recommend gain the summit and walk to the east (skiers left) down slabs and aim for the trees. It leads down close to the road where you skirt the bottom of Lembert back to the parking lot. It's longer but if you have someone who doesn't like to be unroped or bad weather, it's safer.

Only one bolt now ..There is no longer a bolt on the second pitch -- I'm not sure when it was chopped, but the supertopo guide doesn't show it.
