Giselle Field starts up the first pitch. Choose your own adventure through the ribs and grooves, aiming for the curvy crack in the headwall (black arrow).
Groovy upper section of the first pitch. Look for Giselle at the belay.

Where the business starts. Follow the curving crack through the right-leaning bulge.
The awesome finale. Walk the knife-edge until forced out to the left side, then grunt up the left-facing offwidth corner to the summit.
Looking south at the towers on the south ridge of Checkered Demon. Those slabby west-facing buttresses are where the routes be. Lake 12,240' (lower right) is a good place to drop packs or make camp.
Giselle paddles up the easy slab above the crux headwall (pitch 2) with tarn-studded Humphreys Basin sprawled out below.
