Route: NE ridge
Posted On: 9/27/2024, By: zootloopz
Info: Some lingering snow above ~12.3k on N/NE slopes. 5:12 from Andrews Lake to summit at a strong hiking pace. Looks intimidating from afar but nothing more than 3rd/4th class blocks.

Route: Up East ridge, down - NW buttress
Posted On: 9/3/2023, By: SnowAlien
Info: Traversed from North-South Twilight. Traversed the scree to get to East ridge, which was fun, but didn't want to come down this way and deal with scree. Shawn wanted to check out the NW Buttress route anyway. We skipped the first cliffband to the left and downclimbed the second one. The ridge mellowed until the end when we had to bypass another cliffband and took the obvious ramp down to the lake.
