Southwest Ridge

The southwest ridge. The summit is upper left. As you can see earlier in the year there are a few snow fingers. The one in the center of the picture would take you up on the ridge right where you want to be and you could avoid much of the exposed scrambling. The snow is quite steep, but it has a good runout. The alternative is to go all the way around to the right (the way I went) and climb up the rock staying on top of the ridge. May 08.
