A lot of the route in middle section looked something like this
ID 115164415 ·
Looking down at Ryan in the talus from about fifty feet below Laurel Mountain's Summit. There's about 300 feet of this stuff below the summit. Use caution here. Lots of stuff to trundle.
Things start to get loose at 11,100 feet. This is looking up. There's still a lot of ways to avoid climbing in loose stuff if you look for them.

Snow tunnel at the start of the climb.
The fun way down.
Cool ridge instead of staying inside the gulley near the top. (Stay right on better rock quality near top and you'll land on top of this beauty!)

Head right after this mini vein Peter's out to gain the ridge to the summit vs the nasty talus in the gully

Lauren partway up Laurel Mountain. The rock features lent itself very well to stemming and mantling on this route.
