Petzoldt Direct
I and a freind made it to the top of the Petzoldt ridge via the Petzoldt Direct variation. By the time we reached the top it was getting dark(our alarm failed to go off that morning so we got a really late start). We rappelled down the Petzoldt ridge following a chain of rap stations most of the way. At a couple points we had to leave gear behind. We got back to the Lower Saddle well past dark. All in all it was a very fun experience with some epic climbing and exposure.
