Description

In the summer time, you can take the Silver Queen lift up and then head to the ridge from here by crossing over the talus field to the right of the lift. If you are broke like me, you hike up the mountain following the service road aiming for "The Guide's Ridge."

Protection

This route can easily be soloed but requires a few exposed 5th class moves. If you are comfortable on easy 5th ridge climbs, this will be cruiser. This thing would eat up gear though, and there are even bolts in a few spots.
