Route Description
From the Veiled Peak-Wister saddle, follow the ridge, moving left or right to bypass difficulties. If you stay on the ridge, you will find steep rock (5.4), and some technical downclimbing between the triple summits. You can also drop down to the South from the saddle, traverse East, then ascend a gully to the col just West of the West summit. This may even decrease difficulties to 4th class by using the adjacent Southwest Ridge. Snow may be encountered in early season.
