Route Climbed: North Ridge from Rodecker Flat Date Climbed: Oct 22, 2004
I was turned back by snow back in March (or rather, I gave up without even really trying when I saw how much snow was on the peak--and general disgust at the tedious traverse from the PCT didn't help). I came back with Bob for redemption in October from Rodecker Flat, to tick off my final unclimbed peak from Section 1 of the SPS List. The approach from Rodecker Flat is a nice hike.
The peak is basically a big psychology test--the climbing is technically easy, but the exposure can play with your head. Spicy.
