Route Description
From lake 9197 head north to the base of the peak. Look for a large gully that is narrow at the base and starts directly below the summit. Start the climb on the right hand side of the gully and as you ascend switch the left hand side.
The boulders get bigger in size and you have many route options to reach the summit.
Essential Gear
Helmet
Trekking poles would be good to have, but not a necessity.
Recommend a camera, so many lakes and peaks around this area
