Follow the major gully on the right until above the first two cliff bands. Then traverse left onto the southeast ridgeA beautiful fall day - definitely better than sitting in a stuffy office tower.A beautiful fall day - definitely better than sitting in a stuffy office tower.Looking up my ascent gully.Great views already, back over hwy 93 towards Ball, Beatrice and Stanley (L to R).It's loose, but fairly quick terrain as I approach the first cliff band.Looking down the drainage to the highway.Great scrambling through these lower cliff bands!Great scrambling through these lower cliff bands!Looking back again, getting much higher now.Starting to get a wee bit nervous about cliffing out.I could have started my traverse off the east face onto the south ridge here, but I kept ascending instead.Looking down at the top of the first few cliff bands.This was a fun section of scrambling.Obviously I needed to find a way around this set of cliffs! Climber's left, or behind me in this photo, is the way to go.Obviously I needed to find a way around this set of cliffs! Climber's left, or behind me in this photo, is the way to go.
