skintrack below treeline .. this is one of the flat portions of the downhill, though on the way up this clearing gives you the first peek at the rest of the day ahead of you
Be careful to avoid causing a wet slide, like we did on the steepest chute.

A view of the chutes. The easiest options are far left or dead center.
looking back at most of the above-treeline portion of the route .. the route is incredibly obvious - follow the ridge (hikers can be seen on the trail at right center)
Avoiding the exposed rock near the summit may just be the crux of this route.
snow conditions on the summit in February .. skiing down this small snow strip gives access to the upper snowfield & a ski off the summit
