Final pitch.

View of the first buttress of the climb.

From the headwall bypass ramp, you can see almost the entire route. This is certainly a scenic route, with commanding views of Wild Basin.

Looking down the middle portion of the route. The initial buttress is also visible below.

Looking down Crescent Ridge. Keplinger Lake is to the right, the lakes just below timberline are unnamed, and Sandbeach Lake is at the top left of the picture.

Bring your ice axe for an easy descent. We glissaded the snowfield for probably 1000 vertical feet by the end.

Looking down the Crescent Ridge/Scythe from the summit.
