Traversing steep slabs to get around the wave-shaped fin. The climber is in the same location as the previous photo, but this is viewed form the opposite direction (photographer is near the summit). Mt Burkett is the high peak in the background.
The East Ridge (via SE Face) follows the green arrows. Photo by Greg Donaldson, lifted from 50 Classic Climbs of North America.
