Here is my best estimate of the route we followed. Photo taken from campsite along Bubs Creek

Dawn over Mount Brewer, North Guard, & Mount Francis Farquhar seen from Charlotte Dome.

Summit photo showing the rack we used. c3s, .3-#3, single set of nuts, 10 alpine draws, 2 cordelettes.

Approach from the West staying near the creek somewhat. This photo ~30 mins from the base

Western approach up Bubb's creek. There was plenty of carins and very little bushwacking the way we took. DM me if you'd like a gpx track of the approach.
