Riley Woodford on the approach to the west face - ...


Description 

approach from the west side off of the PCT. follow the ridge that leads directly to the summit pinnacle. in good conditions this is moderate snow and very good climbing. The route is in the shade all morning.


Protection 

For the ridge - pickets, maybe a deadman or screws. crampons and ice axe.
For the pinnacle - runners and a small rack of assorted nuts. keep it light.

at the summit pinnacle - we traversed to the north around to the east side and were able to scramble up 4th class rock - very loose in places - to the summit. ymmv.
Also - there are many ways to climb the pinnacle depending on the how much adventure your party is looking for.
