View of Charlotte Dome.

Approaching the South Face of Charlotte Dome.

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.

On the lower face in August of 1983 with Miguel Carmona. With Permission of Bob Lindgren We all are still friends and partners after all these years.

Topping out on the South Face. Go around the westside of the summit block and down it's backside to descend.
