Traversing the East Ledges of doom. This photo was taken about halfway through the traverse. The exit comes right before the gendarme. Loose mungy '3rd class' scrambling at its finest.

The East Ledges from the North Ridge. Route in Red, Ledges in Yellow
Near the top of the ridge on July 4th
The last gendarme
On the East Ridge.
Pretty cool setting.
Exposure looking back at the ridge line from below the summit. The route goes up and over this knife edge, then a rappel into the notch.
Looking down on the belay from the top of the crux pitch. Can see the rap tat on the previous gendarme at the top of the photo.
Traversing roughly halfway through the route.
Near the start (X) of the east ridge in August 2019. There were some moderate snow slopes below where this photo was taken--approach shoes and aluminum crampons (without glacier rescue gear) would have worked. (Photo: Mark F.)
Rapping down the East ledges
Finishing the crux pitch. Fun moves with great exposure.
East Ridge climbin.
