Here is my best estimate of the route we followed. Photo taken from campsite along Bubs Creek

Dawn over Mount Brewer, North Guard, & Mount Francis Farquhar seen from Charlotte Dome.

Approach from the West staying near the creek somewhat. This photo ~30 mins from the base

Topo of the route we took in August 1992.

Approaching the South Face of Charlotte Dome.

Western approach up Bubb's creek. There was plenty of carins and very little bushwacking the way we took. DM me if you'd like a gpx track of the approach.

On the lower face in August of 1983 with Miguel Carmona. With Permission of Bob Lindgren We all are still friends and partners after all these years.

Topping out on the South Face. Go around the westside of the summit block and down it's backside to descend.
