Route Climbed: North Ridge from Mary Lake Date Climbed: August 26, 2005
I had great terrific fun running the exposed narrow north ridge but was climbing solo and turned back just short of the summit. The final ascent up the summit blocks require some very exposed Class 5 climbing. It looked easy, but I wasn't comfortable doing it without being roped. One loose rock and a fall would be fatal. I'll return better prepared next time...
