Southwest Rib

A full-on adventure alpine climb that requires more research than just this description.  Expect to conquer route-finding issues, rockfall, and choss.  Follow the prominent southwest rib starting from the easiest terrain on the toe, but trying to keep to the rib.  A notable section in the middle is a sharp ridge traverse, followed by a left trending ramp pitch below a steep white headwall.  This climb seems to end in two summits, one with cairns on top, but a second rounded summit behind it must be climbed before the descent.

Whatever alpine rack you prefer, but we placed a lot of #3's
