Moving up the ridge. We encountered short class 5 sections, but with good route finding you may be able to unrope to save time.

Moving up the ridge. We encountered short class 5 sections, but with good route finding you may be able to unrope to save time.
The large grassy ledge.
The two ribs are centered here. Go up the right side of the right rib, then cut across the front on ledges to cross over to the left rib. The route is basically the skyline of Teewinot as seen here.
The cirque. Head up the left edge of the main snowfield. Bivouac sites exist below the large boulder.
We circumvented the small tower by going through this notch. Everything was loose. Exercise extreme caution.
The right rib with ledges visible 2/3 of the way up. The couloir to the right is very loose.
The approach. We went uphill (very steep vegetation) to the boulder field just right of center, then cut left to the topmost stream visible in order to gain the cirque. I suspect an easier path exists.
