Climbed as part of a long loop of East Snowmass Creek drainage. Started at the Ditch Trail in Snowmass Village, went up Willoughby and then traversed the ridge via PT 13020, PT 13336, PT 13244 and Baldy then descended the ski slopes back to the Ditch Trail and the car. The ridge from PT 13336 to PT 13244 was tough, lots of loose stuff and lots of routefinding difficulties, if the rock was better it would be a classic though.

A stunningly beautiful area. Nice hike with Aron (while DB mingled with tourists at Maroon Lake).

NW Face from E Snowmass Creek
Spur of the moment route decision, zero beta. Moderate to steep snow climb. Snow wasn't exactly as consolidated as we would have liked. Traversed ridge to UN 13020 & then Willoughby. Super long day in spring conditions! We started in the dark and ended after 9pm!
Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: July of 2005
Climbed in early July. Experienced perfect weather and didn't see a cloud for three days. Willow Basin is reserved for people that really want to see it. Un13,336 is a great mountain.
