From Lady Camp
Climbed on the morning of day 3 of 5. We gained Miners Ridge from Lady Camp and made our way to the summit. Classic scramble with some exposure. Extended lounge in the sun and breeze once back down on the ridge. 4 hours total from camp and back. Then packed up and headed to Image Lake, where we found limited, crowded and poor campsite options. So we took a long swim and sunbathe, chatted with Russ from the Lookout, then headed back to Lady Camp before heading up the next day to Middle Ridge to Buck Creek Pass, where we climbed Liberty Cap amid some of the best wildflowers ever seen.

Miners ridge
A lot of work on the approach but worth the effort. Amazing area.
Beautiful area - camped on the ridge east of Image Lake just below Pt. 6922. Went around the final false summit on an easy goat path on the east side - never did see any need to utilize any 'hidden ledges' or do any fancy scrambling.

Snow, lots of snow
Came up along the Suattle and camped at Miners creek. Made our way up Miners Creek through an avalanche chute to find the trail to the mine area, camped. Next day climbed on snow to the summit and spent the rest of the day on the slope learning/practicing ice axe technique. It is here I felt I really became confident in my axe abilities. Camped again on mine site before heading to North Star.

Nice Peak!
I really enjoyed this peak and its approach from Image Lake. Very straightforward and the summit ridge added a little spice to the trek. Highly recommended peak in an often neglected region.
