I opted for a lasso loop based simply on looking at the terrain ahead and deciding that the route everybody else has taken looks stupid and unenjoyable. So I headed to the left for a saddle and took the peak via a very enjoyable ridgeline with cool geology and great views.
On the descent, I decided to avoid the Bruce route which apparently he does not recommend. But I took the next ridge over that descends directly to the saddle northeast of the peak. I had spied this on the way up and while it looked like there might be some dicey downclimbs on the rocky ridge, it also looked like there were bail options should I cliff out. It turned out great. A really nice way to do this. It seems to me that any sane person would avoid the miserable looking scree and steep that is the direct route as generally posted by most other hikers. But, what do I know? |
