SW Route  Sucess!

Tried the north ridge the day before with Caleb but appears that has changed and maybe some of it cleaved off, leaving no route reasonable looking. Next day in the afternoon headed to Cached Lake from Eagle Lake and then up the normal route. Great weather and enjoyable summit.

From Cached Lake  Sucess!

Pete and I angled up the west connecting ridge to the base of the summit pyramid and headed up from there. The ridge is a bit more difficult than the pyramid. 2 1/2 hours from camp at Cached Lake to summit.

From Eagle Lake  Sucess!

Hiked up in the afternoon from Main Eagle and stayed the night at Eagle Lake. Big t-storm settled in on Needle Point for a couple hours in the middle of the night, so sleep was fitful. Got up early and went straight up the ridge from the dam, veered right at the high basin and gained the NE ridge. At the knife edge section I descended a short distance in the ravines, traversed, then climbed directly up the rocks to summit. Downclimbed the west ridge to Cached Lake, then back to the trailhead. Nice outing.

West Ridge  Sucess!

Tied Cached Lake South Peak and Needle Point into a quick overnight trip. Loved the views of the surrounding peaks from the summit.

West Face  Sucess!

Had a great hike and scramble. The decent to Eagle Lake was a bit hairy. Had a late hike in the dark back to camp at Cached Lake.
