Descent location beta for the northern/gully descent. The three red arrows are three different routes you can take at the bottom of the gully. The middle arrow down the wash/canyon is not recommended.<br> <br> Note that at the pine tree, you can also continue down skier's left a bit and basically end up on the approach trail/path. It requires a bit of downclimbing or maybe a short rappel, but it's a little quicker than cutting back right and allows you to stay up out of the drainage.
Looking down the 3rd and 5th class descent gullies from the small cairn. To find this point, head right/south from the high point of the buttress, staying the near the cliff edge. As the cliff wraps back toward the head of the canyon look for a cairn near the edge as the rock slabs downward. See the south descent overview photo for an approximate location.
