Second option...following our (gcap and lutty) decision to abort a Liberty Bell attempt due to weather. A simple couloir route, but nice views.

Twice in a DayBeautiul summit. We climbed to the top twice on a perfect Saturday. The first time was via the South Arête, and the second via the couloir variation of the SW Rib route. Four stars for the position and incredible views.

South AreteIt was a beautiful day and a great climb. I really loved it and want to go back. Just watch out for those goats if you stash gear... they are little crazy

South Arete and Direct East ButtressI climbed these in August in 1996 - fun routes, but a bit crowded. Hate to see what they are like now.

South AreteClimbed with 3 others for my first rock climb. Great trip in excellent weather. The friction move 10 feet up and the chimney exit were challenges for me but not too bad.

SW RibTook the direct start, fun long climb, took two #4 Camalots, only used one and could have gone without it. Down climbed the south arete making for a nice little loop.

South AreteGreat fun climb. As we were climbing up there was an avalanche in the gully down to the hairpin turn, which made descending down the gully interesting.

South AreteFun, easy climb. First climb I did in the Washington Pass area.

South AreteHad a fun time on this one. The rock climbing was easy--just right for beginners--and the approach was beautiful. We saw several moutain goats along the way.
