Vermilion-Golden Horn Saddle
My friend Rob approaching the climb to the Vermilion-Golden Horn saddle.
Regardless if you go left or right you will have to negotiate some cliff bands. We approached from the left of the snowfield in front of us (as recommended) and the climbing never exceeded Class 2+. We met some people later in the day that approached from the right and abandoned the climb as apparently the cliff bands on that side end up Class 3 or higher.
