West ridge
Ugh. The only good reviews I saw for this peak were from people who did one of the north-side snow climbs. This ridge was a pile of choss held together by mud, and I gather the other routes are similar. I should have tagged Formidable as well while I was out there, but slow snow had worn me down by that point. Trip report.

Climbed via NW Ridge
Climbed this with Jim Yoder during Ptarmigan Traverse. It was very loose and a long ridge climb, just a couple of short steps. We reversed the entire route on the descent. Someone had left a full 50m bail rope and we made use of it to descend from the ridge to the snow.
