Current option for the second rappel on the North Ramp descent
Mark at the top of our pitch 3, at the base of the fun pitch-4 chimney.
Looking down from the "center" rappel option on the North Ramp descent (two young aspens). The large block and tree limb (right) are not entirely secure, and potentially unsafe to lower under. We routed our rope to the left instead.
From the tram, a view of the first several pitches of Windy Ridge. The start is the obvious chimney at the bottom of this image. And at the top, slightly right of center, is the beginning of another chimney on the route.
