Description
A route not to be taken lightly. You too can tread in the steps of John Muir.
From Ediza Lake follow a use trail towards Ritter and Banner Peak until you encounter the first snowfield (seasonal).
Reach second snowfield which lies above the bench by the path of least resistance, which lies to the right of the bench, somewhat below Banner Peak.
Climb up the second snowfield to a couloir which leads to the Ritter-Banner Saddle.
The third snowfield (had enough yet?) is followed to a ledge which leads into the righthand chute.
Climb up the chute - which is loose so beware - at its top traverse over onto the face which leads in steep steps finally to the summit (phew!).
