2nd peak in a Olsen/South/Black traverse.
The ascent from the Olsen saddle to South was the hardest part of the traverse- but not really that difficult.

North Ridge  Sucess!

A few factors joined together to make this the worst mountain experience I've ever had. What an awful scree slog. At least it's short.
