Description

Once on the ridge, hike to the summit with some exposed scrambling. Near the top, it's easier to leave the ridge where it narrows at the top of the obvious couloir and traverse left and then up to the summit.

Location

Where the Crater Lake Trail briefly tops out above Andrew's Lake, follow a faint trail to the left of the meadow northeast to the saddle and ridge betweeen point 12,628 and Snowdon.
