Charlotte at the confidence-inspiring anchor for the VERY long and exposed rappel.
The easiest side on the intriguing spire seen on the approach to West Granite Peak.

Not a bad view on the approach to West Granite Peak. Looks like there might be some routes up there...
West (left) and East (right) Granite Peak seen from Avalanche Lake. The East Ridge ascends on the left, and the traverse (5.4) links the two summits following the craggy skyline.

Looking back at the terrain rappelled into the notch. I think you could find a 5.8-5.9 way through this if going from Granite Pk to W Granite. Rappelling the chimney and ascending this would be harder, but keep you on MUCH better rock.
