Description Suggest change

This seemed like a great way to top out the Pigeon Peak from Ruby Lake. The route takes you right up the north ridge and headwall right above the lake. The rock quality was right up there with the usual San Juan choss, but it sure beats hiking around and over the Pigeon/Turret saddle twice.

Location Suggest change

Start on the south side off Ruby Lake, and climb the obvious ridgeline above the lake.

Protection Suggest change

A single set of cams 1"-3".
