Section 5 of the West...

Section 5 of the West Shoulder Route as seen from the southern exit of the ramp area (Section 4) on August 18, 2002. The farther right you approach the upper timbered crest the easier the terrain but the less direct the ascent. To the left the headwall of the basin is cliffier. At upper right is the 7,839-ft south summit of Mt. Berge.
