Great Shot

How is the downclimb?

Re: Great Shot

Actually it was an upclimb, since I did the ridge from west to east.



The final scramble up Monte Cristo was steep with some loose rock, but really not very difficult. The first half of the lower hump in the foreground (lighter colored rock) was actually much more difficult, and I'd say the most difficult part of the entire ridge from Broads Fork Twins.
