I think this used to be called The Southwest Ridge. Not sure. Have done this with variations three times. 1981 w/ Jay Wilson and 1997 w/ Karen Bates. The only time I got any pics was on this bright sunny day with Guy and Sue.
This climb is part of a larger album. If you wish, you can Open the full album
