Route Climbed: North ridge from Erhnbeck Date Climbed: July 22, 2004
This is a fun ridge to run, though I was racing the clock due to gathering storm clouds to the north. I actually set my Leki trekking pole down on the north side of the summit block in order to manage the technical climbing, then exited quickly on the easier south side due to the worsening weather conditions. The risk of lightening was bad enough that I abandoned my trekking pole for a hasty retreat!
